Pros

Bought 3 of them. Worked as advertised. No complaints.

This product can be installed without the help of an electrician. New light is securely installed. Easy to follow instructions.

The so-called self-piercing screws weren't sufficient on their own - driving them through the can with a hammer was the only wa... Read More

Adapter price is unreasonably high at $40.

The electrician recommended picking up one of these to save money on install.

Competitiveness

Went with this name brand version of this adapter vs the orange big box store generic.

Picture shows the can-light removed with a pendant light in place of it that i purchased separately at lowe’s.
