Gimbal for vaulted/ sloped ceilings is a must
Super stoked on how these turned out. We have a valued ceiling so it was importantly to me to have a gimbal that I could adjust to match the slope and aim the light straight down. We’ve had these installed for about a month. Install is the same as other retrofit style recessed lights. Beware that these will NOT fit directly under a joist like pancake style ones will. We have 8 of these in our living room and 4 in our kitchen. I also compared these to the Halo brand dim to warm light. Those cost 2x more per light. I have one of those installed over our kitchen sink. I think for that setting it’s nice to have the dim to warm there. But the wife really likes the halo night light effect. I do have to admit it ups the ambience level at night. We have the flat versions installed in another room. Having them hooked up to a dimmer is a must. The halo ring dims too. We plan to install these in a couple other rooms in the house later. I’ve installed non gimbal lights on a vaulted ceiling for a client, and they are ok, but I definitely prefer having the gimbal. Just know that the gimbal is not a 360* rotation like the halo brand. It rotates on one axis so you’ll need to physically rotate the entire light housing, not a big deal if you use a mini bubble level when aiming the gimbal. Make sure you push the insulation away from the top of these when installing. Even a little bit of pressure on top of the housing can cause the fixture to not fully seat against the ceiling. I had an issue with that on one light. Last thing to note… the halo ring night light will show imperfections in your ceiling such as cracks or places where patches were poorly performed. So keep that in mind when considering these vs the nightlight inside the can or dim to warm. Read more
