Can light retrofit suggestions.


Recommended Posts

I know previously people have suggested Phillips warm glow 6” retrofit can lights but those seem to have gone off the market. 
 

Can anyone suggest a currently available 6” retrofit LED can light that is compatible with Insteon dimmers?

I haven't specifically tried their retrofit LED lights, but I installed a bunch of pot lights to replace multiple can fixtures from Amico (via Amazon) and have been very pleased with the results. They have a variety of different size retrofit and pot lights in black or white. You can set color/warmth (2700K/3000K/4000K/5000K/6000K) easily, and they also offer a "night light" feature which just illuminates a small ring around the outside of the light (we use that in a home theater setting and it's awesome). 

I haven't had any issues using the new Insteon paddle switches/dimmers with the pot lights.  But your application, and how many fixtures you have on the load, may differ than mine. BTW - you can buy about a dozen of the retrofit fixtures for about what it costs to purchase one Insteon switch these days, so check the reviews and give it a try. If you don't like it, you can always return it.

So most dimmable can LED work fine with Insteon as long as you have at least 12W total on the circuit.  I have FEIT 6" retrofit can lights, and eco smart retrofit in different places depending on flood v. spot that I am looking for.  In other areas I have large spot bulbs that also work just fine.  They don't adjust like some other brands, these are simple lights in either "warm" or "cool".  I use the bluer cool in the kitchen and warm every where else.
