    Have been using these for awhile now. Tried both store brands and mail order cheapo’s and found them unreliable. Only use Halo now.
  • It's easy to find ones that are IC rated. Always read the description before you hit "Buy"
  • @rycwe
    Thanks for the tip. I installed plenty of these wafer lights, mainly the ones with the built in night light
  • love your energy, passion and willingness to teach. I'm a carpenter but I tune in to your channel to see what's going on with other trades. Keep up the good work!
  • @vince6829
    Good to know. Thank you for sharing.
  • @mmccubbis3662
    I appreciate all the effort that you put into helping others.

    I want to install these in my basement rec-room. Was going to order some cheapies from Amazon until I checked out your video. By reading some of the comments here, Halo seems to be the consensus. I'll spend the extra money. Thank you for the information!
  • It would be a strong assumption that the manufacturer is probably attempting to protect their element from hot spots or overheating internally which would require premature aging/failure. If they were capable of generating enough heat to cause igniting of materials (like the recessed cans with incandescent bulb could) then they would likely require thermal cut-offs like IC cans do.
  • I'm looking into buying this type of light. Now I know what to look for. Thank you sir!
  • @ppvshenoy
    Thank you for the warning. Much appreciated.

    Installed Halo brand in the basement, they are a big improvement over the florescent fixtures. They are awesome for drop ceilings.
  • @MrKen59
    3 inches of open space negates the simple plug in play install as you now have to support insulation. This is very timely. Thank you.

    I installed some junos in a dropped ceiling so far works n looks great
  • Considering these for my unfinished basement (new construction). Good to know!
