Parmida 5CCT 5/6 Inch 12W Baffle LED Recessed Downlight

I have been looking for flush Mount led ceiling lights to replace the old cfl lights in my office. These lights were a perfect choice for the job. Installation was a breeze requiring only basic wiring skills. The lights fit perfectly in the cut out holes in the ceiling and installed flush with the ceiling. They are very bright so I do recommend adding a dimmer switch. Overall great value.

These Lights have exceeded my expectations so far! I have installed all 12 and for the price per fixture they are totally worth the money! They replaced some 7 year older 3000K Sylvania LED Flood lights that were starting to fail. The clips that come on these fixtures are not as good as the name brand ones, but they are adequate if you know how to install these type of lights. They did not give me any issues sitting flush to the ceiling, but I made sure that the can light insert in my ceiling was pulled down to its lowest point so that the spring clips could grab the retainers properly. A little pound of the fist around the outside helped to get them fully seated. The trim ring and housing are made out of ABS plastic and have a pleasant look to them when installed. If anything they sit better than the old aluminum ones I had. They are a warmer white than my old 3000K which I like because I always felt the old ones were too blue. They are not as yellow as some might think. They feel closer to an incandescent color wise, however they are LED so there is some off time between cycles, and you still get strobing from ceiling fans. I have 4 of them on a Hampton-bay fan light controller that is dim-able, and they dim to almost completely off without flickering! This is way lower than my old lights could ever do! If you are decent at installing can lights then these should be a cinch to install for you. As an avid DIY electrician I would definitely recommend these. Time will tell if there is any issue with longevity. I hope this review helps you out if you are straddling the fence to purchase these.Jan 27th 2019:Still working great! Not a single issue. They just work. Lights on and off with confidence. Currently being used with TP-Link HS-220 smart switch Dimmers.

Purchased these in Aug of 2018 and they were easy to install as advertised and very bright. Had them on a dimmer in our kitchen and they worked perfectly. About a year later one light failed and the warranty advertised was 5 years so I reached out to the seller about the problem and heard back same day that they were sending me a replacement lamp, also not to worry about the old one and I could just throw it away. Before the replacement arrived, a second lamp failed and then a third started going dim so of course, I assumed these were Chinese junk and was going to have to replace all with something else. I contacted the seller again and they said how unusual it was to have so many lamps fail and that it could be related to the dimmer switch in my kitchen. They have a list of compatible switches so I removed it to check and it said right on the switch that it was incandescent only, I had no idea that you needed an LED compatible dimmer switch. I purchased and replaced it with one on the list they provided and recontacted the seller to tell them my results fully expecting them to say that since I had a bad dimmer switch that they would not replace the bad lamps but to my surprise they not only replaced the 3 that I was having trouble with but gave me an extra for good measure in case one of the others goes bad. So as my headline reads, GREAT customer service and KUDOS to Laura, who was the rep I dealt with. Who knows if there really is a Laura but they know. Thanks again Pamida, I will most certainly purchase your products again as I slowly change my house to LED fixtures!!!!!!

These lights looked like what we wanted/needed for our kitchen ceiling. We wanted to replace the can light bulbs with led lights. We ordered them, at the electrician suggestion, and had the electrician install them. We had 2 fall out soon after putting them in, hitting the floor and breaking. The electrician came back and installed 2 new ones... A few months later another fell out...... we actually thought that was the end of the falling out for the lights. Then, last week 2 more fell out in 1 evening. One hitting the floor and one dangling by the electric connection. (See picture) We give up. We've called another electrician and are having something else put in. We bought a box of 12 (we only needed 4 lights) but thought down the road we wouldn't be able to match them when they burn out. We never thought within 6 months we would have to replace them completely... the lights were nice and bright but just wouldn't stay in the ceiling .. we're very disappointed. These lights have cost us a ton of money, besides buying the lights, we had 4 electrician visits. Now paying for something totally different... very disappointing and way too late to return them.

I had my electrician replace a couple can lights for me when one over the tub failed. He said it was just a bad connection but because it was over a water source it had to be a one piece unit, he couldn't replace it with the same kind of fixture (the kind you just unscrew the bulb). However, he said the one piece units with LED lights would last much longer than any bulb anyway. The new fixture was so much more attractive than the old can fixtures in the rest of the house. After watching how easily he replaced the fixture, I pulled it down just a bit and took a picture of the label with my cellphone. After just a bit of research on-line, I decided to upgrade the can lights in my entire house. We have 60 fixed can lights and three directional cans. It was amazingly easy to install the new fixtures, ordering them on-line and doing it myself saved me a lot of money. There was no wiring required. My husband was surprised when he got home from work and they were all done.
