Brian D. Can Converter made it very simple and was exactly what i needed to adapt the space. Its the only kit that allows to center the medallion.
I also painted the medallion trim to give a custom look. Love it! We changed 2 canned lights over a stairway to 2 pendant lights hanging at different heights.
As this was 18 feet in the air, The Can Converter made a job that could have been very difficult, much simpler and more safe. She found a beautiful sparkling tear drop lighting fixture that shines perfectly to give her town home that warm glow she was originally looking for. Thanks to the Can Converter, we were able to make this possible!
I chose this product over the competition for the availability of a polished chrome trim ring. It was an easy DIY and my wife and I are very happy with the results. The conversion kit worked great and was the perfect solution. The biggest challenge was working over the bath tub, and the delicate chandelier!
I found some beautiful pendant lights I fell in love with. I bought the lights and the great can converters to match. My husband and a friend had the new fixtures installed for me in less than an hour.
I love the new look!!! After looking for several years and speaking with home store personnel with no luck, I located the Can Converter on line.
Best thing ever! Thank you!! We converted a can light in this space to a small chandelier. The Can Converter Kit made the installation conversion doable for us. The instructions were easy to follow and the end result is such an improvement! Used the Can Converter to install a triple pendant light bringing the illumination closer to the sink.
New pendants are great looking in the room! To illuminate the driveway we converted one of them to a floodlight. The conversion has vastly improved the area illumination and leaves my wife much more comfortable going out at night. She wants the other driveway light to be converted as well and I might go ahead and do 2 more for security around the periphery.
Security, not aesthetics of course, was the goal and it has been accomplished. I started out thinking I would just try to insert a wood support or one of those ceiling fan expansion bars. It was a huge time saver and easy to install. Unfortunately my before photo shows the can after I took the bulb and flange out.
But, nonetheless, it was a can. If it allowed more than two pics, I could send it with the can converter installed before I hung the light. When we saw the brushed nickel metal ceiling plate, we knew it would be the perfect marriage to our brushed nickel lighting fixtures that we were planning to install. What a wonderful find! Using Can Converters made my project so much simpler than it would have been otherwise!
I was able to convert the middle pot light into a fan in a fraction of the time and effort. I always regretted not putting in pendants over the island. My electrician told me about the can converters. Really gives the room a finished look. Thank you,.. I thought your YouTube video was great.
This unique chandelier contains 48 taps and weighs 45 pounds. It is basically a round steel hanging light that I modified.
I chose the Can Converter Conversion Kit because I had a choice of medallion colors, it holds up to 50 pounds, and it was easy to install.
The Can Converter to the rescue! I painted the medallions to match the fan and in one morning was able to install the conversion kits and fans myself. It looks beautiful. Love the result. Very impressed with the quality of the product, ease of installation, and especially the detailed instructions. Without The Can Converter this conversion would have been very difficult or maybe impossible. With it, it was easy. Total project time: less than two hours.
Found the Can Converter browsing on-line and thought this was just the thing I had wanted to accomplish my goal. Task was super easy with this device. I think every house should have a couple of standout pieces. I had a plain recessed light over the dining room table. I saw this Possini Euro drop chandelier and knew this would be lighting art. No issues with the can converter. Effortless and stunning!! We are starting with our foyer first. Looks great easy to use! About to 5 more cans to do!
What a difference it made and the can converter kit was so easy to install as a homeowner! I purchased the Can Converters for this job at Timberlake Lighting in Lynchburg and am very happy with the results.
Not being a contractor, I needed the ease your Can Converter kits provide. I found the detailed instructions gave me the confidence to beautify my kitchen this way. So I used the can converters to install 3 ceiling fans with lights. The can converters were very easy to use and the instructions were very good.
All the neighbors have commented on the fans and swings I installed. I had a boring can light over the window between two cabinets. I went to the lighting store and bought a blue glass pendant light and the Can Converter kit. It really has given my kitchen a needed pop of color and has updated the look.
The install was fast and hassle free and most importantly the customer is confident in my performance. The old can lighting inserts had yellowed and really took away from the rest of the space. She knew she wanted pendant lights but I was unsure how to make that happen until I came across this amazing conversion kit.
The Can Converter was very easy to install and had everything I needed to complete the job. View Contest Winners. View Testimonials.

After a set of lights has been lowered, their functionality has changed. The ambient, recessed lights may need to be lowered for atmosphere, allowing a different setting for the more focused hanging lights.
If both sets are on dimmer switches, the exact lighting atmosphere can be set according to your needs. Installing lights requires electrical expertise.
If you lack those skills, hire a professional, licensed electrician. If the room needs new switches in addition to the new hanging fixtures, an expert is best equipped to handle the rewiring job. Consult with the electrician to determine if you need to put both sets of lights on a three-way switch and where the best placement of those switches might be.

By Hobie Anthony. Install mounting brackets for pendant lights. Attach the pendant light wires to the kit wires by threading the wires through the decorative medallion. Restore power at the circuit breaker after securing the pendant light to the socket. Place the light fixture in the desired location.
By switching off the breaker , you can turn off the power at this location. The existing recessed fixture is removed by loosening clips holding the recessed light shell to the socket, twisting out the light bulb, and removing the casing.
Continue to use the existing socket. To install the converter, follow the installation instructions. Make sure there is no power by using a circuit tester. Connect the converter kit wires to the appropriate wires of the new fixture, following the instructions on the fixture. Test that the wiring is properly connected by installing a light bulb and turning on the power at the breaker.
Turn off the breaker and confirm. Clean-release tape is used to fix the ceiling medallion. While completing the installation of the fixture, this holds the medallion in place temporarily. For ceiling medallions to cover the difference left by recessed fixtures, their holes are typically larger than those left by most caps.
It is not necessary to use a medallion when installing ceiling-mount fixtures. Then, attach the cap flush to the ceiling and follow directions for the specific fixture used.
Tape should be removed. Circuit breakers should be turned on. Try decorative trims that sit over recessed lights to make them appear flush-mounted ceiling lights if you want to keep the recessed lights you have but change their appearance. This allows you to experiment with different lighting styles without having to commit to a full-scale conversion. There are many different decorative trims to choose from.
Every day can light can be transformed by adding a colored-glass trim piece to deliver a soft glow. Frosted glass and hammered metal give the space a more traditional appearance. If you choose a trim that is compatible with your current type of recessed lighting, you can select just about any shape you like. A line voltage recessed light, for example, may generate too much heat for some trims. Decorative trims for light fixtures are relatively easy to install. Using a ladder and needle-nose pliers will be necessary to reach the ceiling.
Start by removing the bulb from the socket by setting up your ladder beneath the light. Find the tabs on either side of the can light that are perpendicular to each other.
The bottoms of the spring stems or coil springs should be affixed to them.
