R56 Recessed Can Light Conversion Kit w/ 7"¾ Beveled Ceiling Medallion - Home Improvement for 5" & 6" Cans, Ceiling Fan & Light Fixture Converter Kit, UL Certified, Oil Rubbed Bronze

Worked as advertised. Nothing is ever as easy to install as the brochures say. I had to do some drilling and can mods but it works well.

As advertised

Used this to convert a 5-inch can light to something I can hang a fan on. Worked great, instructions a bit lacking for fan operation and I would suggest a couple of changes to make the product better (I would recommend a slot to push wires through for fan installs as the present way requires you to push the incoming power through a tube and then the bottom of the tube and locking nut interferes with the fan bracket that came with my fan requiring a back and forth of the protruding tube to optimize the clearance between the tube and my bracket, but it works and I will be purchasing another two of these conversion kits as a result. Now that I know how this works, I expect the install of this unit to go much faster.

This converter kit works as advertised in that it attaches to an existing recessed light fixture and allows you to hang a heavy light or fan. In my case, it was a chandelier in the bathroom which was right over the tub. The can converter works well but I did not have three screw holes in the existing can but four. So that means only one screw hole lined up with the converter. The 'simple' solution in the instructions are to use the included self tapping screws and just put them into the sheet metal. If you've ever done that before you know it's not that easy, especially at an angle, while balancing on a ladder, trying to keep the screw from sliding around. So I had to pre-drill some holes for that which was the extra work. Not sure how to avoid that with the converter kit, just letting you know this did not install in "minutes" as advertised ... more like an hour or so. It's still a great product as I did not have access to the attic at this spot so this was my only option.

This can converter is amazing. Easy to work with, although some of the metal edges are very sharp. You removed the existing light cover and lightbulb, screw in the pigtail, and attach this device into the can. I was able to hang a pendant light in place of an existing can light now without having to do any ceiling work or electrical work! This is a real winner!

Instructions could state to take the adjustable ends off after marking the holes and installing them separately to later install the 3 prong main section afterwards. That makes the install a lot easier plus higher quality self drilling screws would be a bonus. Price is considerably higher than Westinghouse's version, but WH doesn't work to keep the light centered for anything over 4" light, where this product does. So a 6" can replacement will keep the new pendant light centered. With the high price, over double of WH, the finish came with blemishes, specifically the inner ring had lines in the chrome finish that were not surface scratches and are noticeable, but a 10' ceiling high, only slight, but still, a disappointment.

Worked great changing my can recessed kitchen peninsula lights to pendant lights, comes with choice of ceiling medallion, also, I got the white one. Very good product!

This is a great product for converting a can light and hanging a heavy new light fixture BUT it is poorly packaged and as a result the male electrical part that screws into your canned light was crushed in the box by the heavy metal mounting plate. 5 stars for product design 2 stars due to the high price ($65++) 1 star for poor packaging (parts got damaged or were missing) 0 stars for lack of the needed adapters ( lamp Nipples ) to make it work for any type of chandelier Spent 2 hours going to FOUR Hardware stores and no one carried the needed parts to make it work Will return Their Slogan of "Installs in minutes not Hours" IS FALSE !!!
