I bought these to replace two very old and rusted square metal trim pieces in my downstairs ceiling. Apparently, square recessed lighting is now outdated (the Home Depot near me didn't carry anything square lighting related), but rather than pay for new round can lighting and have to repair and re-cut new holes in my dry wall ceiling, I opted for the easier aesthetic fix of just replacing the square trim that's already up there with these.

I was a little worried they wouldn't fit as these are not the same brand as the old housing I have up, but the measurements were the same and much to my delight when they arrived, they fit perfectly into the slots of my old housing.

The outer trim is metal painted white but looks nice compared to what I had up previously. The square glass lens was not clear, but rather had a white coating of paint on the underside to dilute the light so keep that in mind when getting these if you're expecting clear glass. I was skeptical how that would affect the lighting of my downstairs, but with a new 60 watt energy saving (bright white) bulb in each fixture, they provided plenty of light in the room.

My only complaint would be that they are a little pricey at around $18 for what I paid for them considering they are just the metal trim with a glass lens. But it was certainly cheaper and easier than putting up all new lights.

My home was built in 1970 and across my back deck of 70 feet I have five square recessed lights in the overhang. The covers are rusted. I have cleaned and repainted many times. We just finished painting our house and got the first coat on the overhang today. I did take one of the five I bought out to see if it would fit. I have no idea who makes my 1970 fixtures but was hoping these would work. I put one up to test it and it will fit fine. Can't wait to get my last coat of paint on the overhang and get these in place. Hopefully they'll last another 40 years like the previous ones did. Thanks Amazon for having these; I know I would not find them anywhere else being the shape is square.

I bought this to replace the aluminum version mistakenly thrown out by my contractor. It looks very nice against a white ceiling and I am thinking of replacing the two remaining aluminum ones with this one, for conformity but also because the white against white looks very nice.

Note that this is just the trim. You have to buy the housing for the light separately.

Would recommend.
