Round LED Panel Light, S&G Flat Non-Dimmable Round Ultra-thin LED Recessed Ceiling Lights for Home Office Commercial Lighting with 110V LED Driver (3000K, 9W)

I was skeptical at first. I needed a light in a basement hallway. Due to duct work I only had about a 1" depth to fit somethin into my drywall ceiling and figured there was nothing out there that would work so I put up with the dark hallway until I came across this light while researching recessed lighting for a different project.After looking it over and reading other reviews I figured I had nothing to lose, other than a few $$. Quality seemed well-built. The hardest part was figuring how to put the clips on. I was able to install it where I thought I could never have a light. Puts out amazing amount of light and the fit/finish in my ceiling looks great.Great product!

Been installed for about a month now. They give off a lot of light, installed easily on some special drop ceiling tiles (thinner than normal), and don't get too hot.

This review is for the 9W, 3000K color temperature version of this product. I'll list a few quick pros and cons.PROS:1) Very thin & compact - I was able to fit these over existing junction boxes using just the thickness of the ceiling drywall.2) Provide plenty of light & pleasant color - I used two of them in an entry hallway, and it works perfectly. Make sure to compare light output in lumens compared with a conventional bulb or known quantity for your application.3) Can be used "stand-alone" in drywalled ceilings, without existing light cans or junction boxes.4) Though I measured specific consumption, they will use far less energy than the light fixtures they replaced.5) Nearly flush against the ceiling - slick & functional look when installed.6) Price - these are only marginally more expensive than a standalone high quality bulb.CONS:1) As others have noted, there is a separate "controller" or converter which will have to find a home in the ceiling or junction box.2) The electric leads (pigtails) from the "controller" box are short & "fine," be careful when stripping & connecting.3) There is a slight delay after the switch is thrown until the lights turn on, less than a second.4) The case/border has "S&G" printed on it in grey lettering which is visible after installation. Not obtrusive, but still unnecessary and annoying.5) The springs which hold the light in the ceiling require some force & finagling to install.6) Included instructions are minimal - may be more instructions online.

Really good! The only thing is that 2 lamps came not working. But we sent back and amazon return the $$$

These are very nice lights. The are super slim, only about 1/2" deep. A couple things to note (per code you will still need a junction box somewhere in the ceiling, also the connection to the light is not very long, so the junction box will need to be close to the light. I would also like to see a ground wire added to these. There is no ground to these lights, which isn't a huge deal, but I always like to install things per code, especially electrical items. This is mounted in a ACT drop ceiling, so they are easily accessible, not sure if I would be able to use these in a GWB ceiling, honestly I don't see how you even could on existing construction since you have to use a junction box to connect power. But in my case these worked perfectly. Nice light, very bright. I have had these for about 6 months now and no problems.
