Best Recessed Lighting Housing & Trim Kits of 2025

"I've installed several of these lights, and the installation was a breeze. I recommend using standard wire twists instead of quick connectors for better reliability and safety. The ability to select light intensity and color tone is fantastic. However, I noticed that the metal box lid could be sturdier."

"In my kitchen remodel, I was looking to improve the dim lighting in the hallway. These lights were perfectly thin for my dropped ceiling. The brightness was overwhelming before I added dimmer switches, but now they look fantastic! I even used a smart dimmer with great results."

"I bought 12 of these 8” lights for my workshop, and they provide even brightness throughout the space. They easily fit over ceiling joists, which is a big plus. I love the five different light settings and how easy they are to install."

"I found these lights to be perfect for my needs! Installation was a breeze, and they look amazing. The dimming and light-changing options provide me with so many possibilities. If I ever need more, I'm definitely coming back for these!"

"These recessed lights were perfect for adding much needed light in my bedroom, bathroom, and stairwell. As an electrician, I found them easy to install, and I believe even homeowners with basic DIY skills will manage just fine. The price for 12 fixtures was great, and the brightness is adjustable."

"I typically don't compromise on lighting, so when I found these lights for about half the cost of traditional 6” cans with LED bulbs, I was hopeful. The design is well thought out, making installation easy. I pre-installed the ballast boxes, and the light output has been satisfactory, even if I suspect the stated lumens might not be entirely accurate."

"Initially, I purchased a pack of 24 recessed lights and was unsure about needing so many. After installing 8 outside, I quickly understood. The installation was straightforward, but I did encounter issues with dimming using my existing switches. Overall, for this price, I plan to buy more!"

"I really love how these lights look. I replaced my old can lights with these newer ones and noticed that they illuminate a much broader area. I opted for a color warmth right between cool and warm, and I appreciate the simple installation process. My electrician helped me out, showing me that it's really easy to handle. I just had them installed today, and so far, I think I made a great choice. They are silent and look as good as more expensive options."

"I upgraded 24 can lights in my home and I’m thrilled with the result. These lights sit perfectly flush against my ceilings and have a much cleaner appearance than my old bulbs. I had no issues with flickering or dimming, and I found the installation to be quite straightforward after watching a helpful video. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that these don’t buzz like my previous LED bulbs. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase!"

"At under $6 each, these lights are an incredible deal. I swapped out my old builder-grade lights for these, and they match perfectly in brightness and color. I love being able to adjust the light's softness. Even if they don’t last as long as advertised, the installation was quick and easy, and that’s a huge plus for me."

"I was thrilled with the neat packaging upon receiving my order. I quickly started replacing lights in my hallway, bathroom, and bedrooms. The color adjustments from 6000k to 2700k were a nice surprise. I was especially impressed that there was no humming or flickering with these lights, which I experienced with other brands. Great value for the 24 pack!"

"In my last two home sales, I found that replacing old can lights with these was a smart investment. I replaced 46 can lights effortlessly, which likely helped increase my listing price by $10k-$15k. The installation is so quick and easy that each light only takes about a minute. If you're selling your home, these lights should be your top priority!"

"I recently purchased the Amico 12 Pack 6 Inch 5CCT LED Recessed Ceiling Light with Night Light, and I couldn't be happier! The color temperature options are fantastic, offering versatility and convenience. Installation was a breeze, with clear instructions and everything needed included. The lights fit seamlessly in my ceiling, and the slim design adds a sleek touch. Performance-wise, the light output is bright and consistent, allowing me to adjust the temperature for various activities. I highly recommend this product!"

"I'm thrilled with these lights! I've never installed recessed ceiling lighting before, but this was a piece of cake. I particularly enjoy the night light mode for evenings and the ability to select warm or daylight settings during installation. I would definitely purchase this set again; great price and very easy to install!"

"Initially, I bought these when my big box store was out of stock. I was pleased that installation was easier due to the larger wire box. The wafer-thin thickness works great in tight spaces. I loved the night-light feature that casts a nice glow, so I bought another box to replace older lights. At $100 for 12, they are much cheaper than big box brands, and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and overall performance!"

"After installing these lights in my music room, I was impressed by how easy the swap was. The app lets me control everything with hundreds of color options. I'm definitely a fan of Govee!"

"I installed this light fixture over our bathroom tub. It was incredibly simple to install, taking only about 20 minutes to make the hole, set up the fixture, and wire it to an existing junction box in the attic. My wife adores the light it provides and the ability to choose the lumen output."

"I love this light, especially its brightness! It's perfect for above the shower and has a high Color Rendering Index (CRI >90), making colors appear vibrant. The multiple temperature selections are fantastic, but I recommend selecting the right one before installation, as it requires removing the light afterwards."

"After putting these lights in my living room, I can't believe the difference! The room feels cozy and well-lit without any dark spots. Installation was a breeze, and I plan to purchase more for future projects, especially since they work flawlessly with my Lutron Diva dimmer switch."
