Recessed Light Clips for Downlight | 5 Pairs of Recessed Lighting Clips | Perfect for recessed retrofit Down Light

These clips fit and worked perfectly. I’m so glad I was able to find these recessed light clips on Amazon. An electrician was going to come out and charge me $200 to install my down lights until I figured out how cheap it would be to do them myself. I bought these clips for less than what he was going to charge me (an additional $30 for 5 sets) to install new ones in my existing down light cans, which did not have them. It took only minutes and was very simple to do. Very easy to install and I am very happy they came out looking great. Thank you!

Easy to install. Use a right angle adaptor on the driver and they went in well.

Perfect. I was replacing downlights that were held in place by metal "claws" on each side with new downlights that used the metal rods shaped like a V. The old cannister did not have these clips, so I installed these inside the cannister and it worked like a charm.

We used these clips to secure recessed LED lights with faceplates in our old can lights. The replacements had the option of spring clips (that did not hold) or the long wire legs. The old can light covers were held in at the top, so no clips. These little brackets are kind of a pain to install; however, we don’t have to worry about the lights falling to the floor in the middle of the night.

This is an unsolicited review of the Recessed light clips for Downlights. I purchased five (5) pairs for a three-light project in order to have some spares if they were needed. I was not compensated for this, or any other, reviews.These are decent quality, with a ridge across the horizontal axis to prevent bending where it matters most - between the c-clips themselves. But there are a couple of caveats about using these in practice.Caveat #1 - Your fixture should be very close in diameter to the relamping bezel you are trying to install. You really do want to have near-vertical alignment of the retention springs that lock into these clips; otherwise, you will end up with a poor fit and probably clip damage (see photo). I had a box-shared recessed unit, rather than the round unit depicted in the seller's images, and there was still a 3/8-inch and 5/8-inch gap between where the clip should be and where it was mounted, so the clips could not survive the attempt.Caveat #2 - As another reviewer mentioned, getting a spot to place the screw can be a challenge. Using a right-angle drill attachment is smart, but I imagine a lot of people try to use the wrong tool for that and spend more time and energy than necessary. I was able to use an awl and standard drill, but I was not pleased with the overall accuracy of where the clips ended up being attached. Get the correct parts for the job and the proper tools for the job and it's probably a quick weekend project.In the end, I did not use any of these clips, as my helper lost a clip and a screw and we damaged two making the unwise attempt to bridge the gap to the large recessed box. Maybe these will come in handy one day, but I don't blame the product or the seller for that.

I converted recessed can lights from flood light bulbs to LED using LED retrofit kits. The LED kit uses 2 springs wires to hold the LED fixture in place in the can. However, my recessed cans were smooth and did not have the mating light clips which are also not included with the LED kit. These clips are designed for the LED kits, and take a minute to install. Wear safety glasses, and pre-drill holes 180 degree apart so the clips align with the bottom lip of the can. Use the screws included and mount the clips with a Phillips screwdriver. You are now ready to mount your LED kit.A little expensive for what you get, but a necessity, and get the job done.

These are hard to get into an existing fixture when you have to drill a hole.

These were perfect for retrofitting my existing 10yr old recessed cans.I decided to upgrade them so I could use the newer LED's, the ones with the side spring tensioners.They're a piece of cake to install, I recommend measuring where the side springs attach to the LED light body and add about 2 inches. Use that measurement from the ceiling up into the can and mark there so you know where to screw them in.
