It is supposedly for fixtures weighing 5 lbs or less but this contraption only secures to the can by a screw in mechanism (like a light bulb) and a small metal piece that attaches to the side of the can. The problem is that there is flexibility in the mechanism that bends and gives so that you can't get a snug attachment of your fixture to the ceiling. The fixture we are installing is less than 5 pounds but it's too heavy to keep the dumb thing from bending. Already we've spent 2 hours on the installation but now we are off to Home Depot to see if we can find another bracket to attach to the can to support the mechanism. Oh...and we didn't find out that it wouldn't tighten all the way (due to the give in the mechanism) until AFTER we fought with the machine screws to get them into the holes of the fixture...again because the stupid thing bends. Had to use string to guide the machine screws to the holes. Total disappointment! I'd return to the seller if I didn't need it now.Update: I’ve changed my initial review from 1 star to 4 because after much effort and nearly 6 hours of installation time (not exaggerating) I have realized that the problem lies more with the can light canister itself than the can converter screw in mechanism. I still don’t recommend the R1 because It doesn’t cone with a brace plate which is more sturdy than the screw in apparatus. BUT we were able to finally get our fixtures installed. With the R1 kit I recommend that you attach all of your fixture wiring to the mechanism before screwing into the can light outlet. This will allow you to more easily feed the machine screws through your light fixture wire covering. Whew! Glad that’s over. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked as advertised *by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2023* Easy to install. Ordered it to get flat medalion plate. Worked as advertised. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ worked perfect! better than other brands *by E***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2022* i previously tried the westinghouse converter but it didn’t sit flush to ceiling. if you have a small light under 5 lbs i highly recommend this one it was super easy to install and worked great for the pendant light i hung. the extra money was well worth it as you can adjust height so it sits flush since most can light housing differ slightly. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/20502936-r1-kit](https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/20502936-r1-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Israel* *Store origin: IL* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
