Westinghouse Recessed Light Conversion Kit (White)

Reviews

   Follow the video instructions

   The kit performed well but the printed instructions were lacking. I watched installation videos and used the included mounting plate instead of the fixture’s plate for a neater fit.

   Highly recommended — simple install

   Installed this and it worked flawlessly. The screws didn’t always bite into the can, so I pre-drilled starter holes, then wiring and fitting the pendant went smoothly. All parts matched and installation was trouble-free. Very pleased.

3. B Barrootz 5/5

   Sturdy and well made

   Bought to hang a light over the stairwell. Had an electrician assist and he was impressed with the fit and strength. Claims up to 50 lb and the hardware feels robust. Looks professional when installed.

   Requires metal drill bits to install

   The screws won’t pierce thicker cans without a metal bit. Once I had proper bits it went in fine. Don’t set the support bar too deep or you’ll have trouble seating the medallion plate.

   Easy install and looks good

   These converted my hallway cans nicely. I had to bend the metal plate a touch so the surround sat flush, but once adjusted they look great. I’ll paint the medallion and update later on finish.

   Great for switching to pendants

   We converted pot lights over the island to pendants with a straightforward install. For small cans the medallion wasn’t needed; for larger cans it conceals the hole nicely.

   Did the job as expected

   I was skeptical after an electrician quoted far more to do the same conversion, but this kit made it straightforward. The self-tapping screws can wander, so I punched starter holes first. Took about 30 minutes per light including adding the fixture, and the painted medallion blends in nicely.

   Dependable kit I've repurchased

   Bought two units years apart and both were simple to fit and worked reliably. If I need another conversion, I’d pick the same kit again.

   Worked on a sloped ceiling

   Installation was mostly straightforward though the self-piercing screws needed a hammer to start. Important tip: position the cross-bar for the pitch of the ceiling — I found a horizontal orientation gave better support on my cathedral ceiling.

    Solid solution with drilling needed

    This kit does the conversion well but plan to drill the can. I marked screw locations, punched starter dents, and had to apply steady drill pressure for the screws to bite. Very sturdy once secured and holds the fixture without issue.

    Saved a lot of time and hassle

    Converted three 4" can lights to pendants easily. The extendable bracket was a bit fiddly with thicker cans but once set it worked well. Make sure your can model matches the kit specs before buying.

    Flexible and easy to use

    Flexible bracket design allowed me to replace a recessed pot with a pendant just like advertised. Happy with the final look and function.

    Perfect for installing a chandelier

    Allowed me to add a chandelier without removing the metal can. The adapter taps into the lamp socket and provides hot/neutral leads; a bracket fastens to the can walls for support. Not as strong as a joist box, but very convenient for many fixtures.
