LUXRITE 5/6 Inch LED Recessed Retrofit Downlight - Color Selectable

In this review of the LUXRITE 5/6 inch LED recessed retrofit downlight, the bottom line is simple: it is ideal for homeowners and remodelers who want an easy-to-install, energy-saving replacement for 90W incandescent can lights. The single biggest reason to buy is the built-in 5 CCT color selectable switch that lets users dial in the perfect white from 2700K to 5000K without swapping bulbs, and the kit installs quickly into existing 5 in or 6 in housings for fast retrofit work.

Key Features

• 5 Color Options: A rear-mounted switch changes color temperature between 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K and 5000K so the same fixture adapts to different rooms or moods.
• Easy Install: The retrofit kit includes an E26 screw-in adapter and metal tabs so it snaps into most 5 in and 6 in can housings for a straightforward replacement.
• Energy Savings: At 14W replacing a 90W incandescent, these lights reduce electricity use by about 84% while delivering roughly 1100 lumens.
• Dimmable Performance: Smooth dimming from 100% to 10% with no noticeable flicker gives control over brightness and ambiance when paired with compatible dimmers.
• Wet Rated and Durable: ETL listed with an Energy Star rating, a foam gasket for sealing, and a 50,000 hour life make these fixtures suitable for indoor and covered outdoor locations.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at homeowners doing kitchen, bathroom or living area remodels who want modern, consistent LED light without redoing ceilings or housings. It also suits contractors and DIYers who need reliable retrofit fixtures that install quickly and offer color flexibility for different client preferences.

Those who need decorative pendants, very narrow-beam accent spotlights, or integrated smart-home color controls should look elsewhere, since these are adjustable white temperature, general-purpose recessed flood lights rather than decorative or color-changing RGB fixtures.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Easy retrofit installation into 5 in and 6 in housings with included E26 adapter and metal tabs.
• Five selectable color temperatures let you choose warm to daylight from a single fixture.
• Low power draw at 14W for roughly 1100 lumens and long 50,000 hour life reduces maintenance and energy cost.

Cons

• Does not include smart connectivity or RGB color options, so it only provides selectable white temperatures.
