Only needed over heat sensor. But complete unit saved me from having to solder or crimp, and then replace the protective cover (plastic heat shield) of the over heat sensor. Also could not find just an over heat sensor on line. Saved me a lot of time and money and effort. (Posted on 2/29/2024)

This is the first time I have used Total recessed lighting. This company is very quick on getting your order packed and shipped. Plus they keep you up to date on the shipping date and eta. Very thorough and friendly.
I only needed the temperature switch that is built in to these, but I never was able to find a source to acquire them and I looked for several hours on the internet. Total recessed lighting had the best option for me and they were great. I will definitely use them again. (Posted on 8/29/2023)

Fixed my failing fixture Review by TomA

The 32 year old "can light" in our bathroom had been oddly dim for a few years, but I just figured it my aging eyesight. However, about a month ago the bulb started turning itself off for a while after it had been on for a few minutes and I realized there was definitely an electrical problem of some sort. I verified that there was an over-heat sensor snapped into the side of can adjacent to the bulb and figured it might be the culprit. I bought this socket w/ over-heat sensor since it appeared that it would replace the original socket without any modifications, and indeed it was a perfect fit. I disengaged the old sensor which was insulated in a rectangular nylon shroud, and after carefully assessing how the shroud was snapped together, I was able to pry it open without damaging it and extract the old sensor. Lo and behold the new sensor was exactly the same size as the old one so all I had to do was position it in the shroud and pop it closed again! I snapped the sensor shroud back into position inside the can and then made the required electrical connections in the top of the can above the new socket with 2 high quality wire nuts. The bulb is now back to its original brightness and can be left on for any length of time as needed. (Posted on 7/14/2022)

This product was exactly what I was looking for. Instead of replacing the whole lamp, I just needle to replace the bad part. The light that was damage was 15 years old. I probably will upgrade lamps further down the road.

Excellent Sales and Customer Service Review by Cos

I had put this item in the shopping cart, but did not order when the shipping charge to AK came up to $40. However, when they contacted me about the cart, I mentioned the shipping charge. The sales person was very helpful and told me they refund most of this fee since AK and Hawaii are part of the US. With that info, I purchased the item shipping reduced to reasonable amount. The item was good quality and came quickly. However, the wires were short for my need and I had to lengthen by splicing. All in all I would recommend this retailer on excellent customer service, speed of service and quality of product. The shipping refund should be corrected as not everyone will find out about the refund as it is not readily apparent. (Posted on 6/14/2022)
