Recessed Lights and How to Retrofit Them with LED Downlights - Thrift Diving

Get the materials list and step-by-step tutorial for how to retrofit LED recessed lights to look more modern on the blog! https://thriftdiving.com/retrofit-rec...

I recently installed recessed lights in my 16'x26' "she shed" but didn't realized before installing them that they didn't have c-clips in them to allow me to use modern LED recessed lights with springs. To fix this problem, I installed c-clip brackets in my recessed lights. This is how you also convert older recessed lights housings or cans to use LED downlights. With LED downlights, you can get creative with lots of color changing lights that work on timer, work via an app, and can connect to Alexa, Google Assistant, etc.
