Commercial Electric’s T91 retrofit recess/new construction LED wows

At $36 from Home Depot, the new T91 recess trim retrofit / new construction surface mount meniscus LED fixture from Commercial Electric is a 750 lumen powerhouse with color temperature that actually looks good. And although 750 lumens will be too much in many applications, this unit is dimmable, making it a superior option to retrofitting PAR lamps in recess lights — or to recess lights at all!

The T91 is a multi-application new- and old-work installation fixture adaptable to standard new (or old work) 4″ plastic round boxes as well as 5″ or 6″ recess housings that use a standard Edison E61 base screw-in lamp.

New Work Installation in a 4″ Plastic Box

Sized to install as a semi-recessed surface-mount fixture in new construction 4″ round wiring boxes, the T91′s low meniscus profile of under 1″ below finish ceiling will make it a game-changer for electricians wanting to provide modern lighting styles without compromising the weatherseal around conditioned space by use of a recess can. By coombining the T91 with the new gasketed 4″ round box from Arlington, this fixture is a labor-saving draft-killer promising simple installations and a clean minimalist styling.

On the downside, it sits proud of the finish surface and casts light in a 120 to 180 degree spread, so it lacks the glare-reducing properties of well-installed recessed task lighting.

Five 750 lumen dimmable T91 points are about the wattage of one conventional halogen

Commercial Electric T91 offers versatile installation and draft-free semi recess styling.
