Can Converter R56-RMB-ORB 5 in. & 6 in. Recessed Can Light Converter Kit with Oil Rubbed Bronze Medallion

Functions as intended

The price seems on the high side, but it is well constructed with easy to follow instructions. Most importantly, the reducer to get the size down to normal fixture size is an attractive and sensible solution, worth paying for in my opinion having seen some pretty awful ones over the years. Installation is a little tricky but anytime you are working on something in the ceiling simple tasks get more complicated. Overall very happy with this product.

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.

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.

I’m very impressed with how easy this was. It is also featured on this old house and that’s how I found out about it.

Haven't actually used this yet but it looks good. I'm sure it will work out fine. What I wanted to note was the great customer service. My mail carrier could not deliver it and sent it back. Instead of just processing it back in and forgetting about it, they actually called me to assess the problem and then sent it again to my other address. Thanks so much for caring about your customers :)

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 design2 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 chandelierSpent 2 hours going to FOUR Hardware stores and no one carried the needed parts to make it workWill returnTheir Slogan of "Installs in minutes not Hours" IS FALSE !!!

This kit was very pricey, but, it worked very well. After you use the first one, you learn quickly. 2 1/2 hours for the first, 45 minutes for the second. These were on 10 foot ceilings.
