I have a living room with no recessed lighting. Which housing should I use to use these lights?

My handyman used 6" cans. I used them to replace a light bar in my bathrooms. I didn't have any recessed lighting in there prior. He cut the holes ran the wires and put in the cans and they work perfect.

These lights require a regular pot light housing. Once the housings are placed where needed in your room, you simply screw them in like you would a regular light bulb and "pop" them into the housing. It is very easy to do and the light is quite good. Another feature is that the lights work with a dimming switch. I highly recumbent them.

These are intended to be a retrofit kit that fit either a 5 or 6 inch existing can light fixture.

Use a single hole wall plate. It would be the exact same wall plate as would be used for a light switch. The wall plates can be purchased in different colors and shades.

Try these in a reflector lamp. Cheaper. There is also a one inch extension if it is too short. Get them a home center and return if they don't work. CFLs are dim. I like to double up. 10-Pack E26/E27 Light Socket Splitter Adapter - Y Socket (makes 2 sockets for E26 bulbs from one bulb socket)

I used CFLs. The thinner profile ones. They can be seen from the side view, otherwise I like the lights

I had existing 4" recessed lighting that used screw in halaogen bulbs , the housing fit in a 4" hole through the ceiling,withe the wiring in the attic. It was simple for me ,to replace the halogen with the T41 , plus now I can insulate my attic .Go to your local box store and look at the recessed cans , just make sure you get one that has the "normal " bulb screw in socket . any make should work , but yes it requires the 4" hole

I used regular incandescent bulbs. But I think you could use LEDs also. Hope that helps. It adds a lot of light to my daughters desk. She loves it!!

Go to TerraLux website. They have a product selector which shows what you need. I have the same light as you and am trying to find an upgrade on Amazon.

I was not impressed. If you ever need bright lighting (i.e. for reading, etc.), then you may want to go with a higher-wattage version. The light is nice, but if you can 'see' the bulbs, they do have some glare to them as they are clear, not frosted. If you are just looking for something that will give nice ambient lighting, you should be fine with them, though. I ended up using these in open, recessed can fixtures above our downstairs bar and they are fine there - but I don't need a bright light in that location. Also - these are NOT dimmable, so if the lamp has a 3-way switch, you may want to look at other options. Hope that helps! I was not impressed.

Depending on the height of the ceiling I would space them farther apart. I am currently using 1 to illuminate my 8x20 wood shed.

I have been using these studio lights for a few months now. They came with 45 watt, 5500K bulbs, similar to the bulbs you are looking at above. They use standard size light bulb bases like everything in your house. Your higher wattage bulbs should work ok. Heat would be the main concern. I probably would not use halogen bulbs because they are very hot. The only modification I made was to extend the vertical support rod so I can sit these on the floor and now have them high enough for my tabletop, otherwise the base has to sit on the table itself, taking up room.

You would have to have a shroud big enough to fit the light. Other than that, I can see no reason why this wouldn't work as a recessed light. That being said you would have to have a pretty substantial sized shroud. I know in my backyard, they are not recessed.

When you have recessed lighting in the kitchen or other room of your house these extenders bring the bulb lower to have more light. This is how I use mine. Hope this helps.

You don't. But I bought one of those dimmer extension cords with the sliding switch that sits on a credenza or table. Honestly, works better than a 3-way bulb.

It's the same as any other recessed light as far as light output. If one is enough for you then yes. I think I'd want at least one other light if it was me.

Use Super Macro mode and make sure you have excellent indoor lighting if doing this indoors. Otherwise, use a light box or set up outside. :)
