HALO 70PS Recessed Light Trim, White, 6 in.

item as described and easy to install

We bought a house in Florida in 2016 that was built @ 1997. Our outside patio has numerous of these lamps overhead. To replace a light bulb, you can either replace it with a regular bulb or a new LCD equivalent. The problem is that the tight fitting outer access closure is done by two springs that need to have the outward-facing fixture pulled down against their force. In one of our case the spring broke. In another the plastic that held the spring in place broke. Both times I thought I'll have to Mc'Giver the light since I didn't want to replace the whole can.Then I found this Amazon link...realized it's exactly the same as what I need. Yep, Halo still makes the same ceiling can lights and these replacement parts fit perfectly. Thanks Halo, for keeping the design/replacement parts going. Light has worked excellent for all these years.

I bought one of these and one of the Nicor version to replace a similar light fixture. The broken model had the plastic mount section crack and break off so it was being held in the ceiling by only one of the two side mounts. As it turns out the broken model was a Nicor one. This is the important thing to note about the way these are put together. The metal arm-springs that attach this to the ceiling are affixed to the plastic frame, and the Halo design is clearly better. The Halo metal armes are threaded through a hole and then pulled up so that the weight of the connection is held by the whole unit. The Nicor one is pushed down on the lip and over a single notch so that force is directed to a single point- and this point is much more likely to break. Given the similar price, Halo is the way to go.

These shower trims are all made of cheap material that gets fragile when it is older. The spring tension clips are attached to an arc that can snap off and the lens is held in this plastic tabs that break rather than bend when they are very old. Both those portions snapped on my old HBR70WH trim covering a Halo H7T can. I purchased this Halo 70PS and removed the lens that came with it. I transplanted the lens from my HBR70WH into the 70PS and it fit snugly. Once transplanted, the new hybrid looks pretty much identical to the old trim and, since I have the old trims in other showers, that keeps the house matching without replacing them all. FWIW, the new lens looks better than the old lens because it is terraced to protrude through the bezel aperture and give a less recessed look. I opted for the old, recessed look for consistency over style. The Halo 70PS has VERY stiff spring clips which means it tries hard to hug the ceiling. The grommet is less pliable than the old rubbery one in the Comm. Elec. but I kept the new one to ensure that the higher wattage rating applied. A drawback to very stiff spring clips is that it may be difficult to install if you have poor hand strength. Another potential drawback is that when the plastic becomes brittle there will be more pressure exerted upon it because the spring clips cannot be handled with a delicate touch (and this may lead to failure at an earlier stage of brittleness than would occur with lax springs). You may still be able to buy the HBR70WH in quantity 1 but the only source for them singleton seems to be a few Home Depot stores far from my home (if you are in El Centro CA or Piqua, OH then you may be in luck).

This is the one, seems a little more sturdy than the one the builder supplied. Gasket for watertight seal, frosted lens for light distribution. The springs are insanely tight, my hands are not as strong as they used to be. Hook one half of one side into the can then bend the other half, get it under the clip. Now that it's supported by one side and you can use both hands to squeeze the spring together and hook under the clips on the side of the can. Then push up tight to the ceiling. We swapped to a LED bulb, much less heat. That's what caused the last one to fail, while changing the burnt out incandescent bulb the plastic broke where the spring was attached, it was discolored and brittle from the heat.

Perfect replacement for your old dingy and gross recessed covers.

When I recently went to change a burned out recessed light in my shower, the old cover cracked at the hinges that hold it in place. Found this replacement at a solid price. Turned out to actually be more robust than the original. It takes a bit of coordination to get the hinges bent and slipped into the slots, but that's just the nature of this design. Once I got the springs into the slots of the recessed fixture, it slid easily and snuggly into position. The frosted lens diffuser provides a soft light in the shower and now it's protected again from moisture.

I was expecting a pure white trim, but the one I received was off white like the one I was trying to replace. It works otherwise. I might just spray paint it white when I finally redo my bathroom.

Couldn’t find this model anywhere else and it was exactly what I needed. Great quality, fits perfectly, and works as expected. Very happy with the purchase.

For our 15years condo's bathroom. It fit well, easy to install!! Thanks!!

I bought this for my shower. The seal is very good and it is keeping out the humidity from the steam. I had other led shower lights but they would also stop working and flicker from the mositure. A cover like this with a good light is much better.
