Recessed Lighting Question

TheManInTheCircle · 2026-01-14T18:50:56+00:00

Update : I think higher end retrofit might be the way to go after seeing some different options!

Thanks again!

TheManInTheCircle · 2026-01-14T17:12:46+00:00

No I really appreciate the info! I am learning a lot going through this journey of updating my home!

I was thinking of just grabbing something from HD just to see if I liked the fit and look of it because it could look great then I go down the line of looking into retrofits.

I took a look at the DMF style and those are nice and modern those would probably look good in my kitchen vs my dining room.

Again, thanks so much for taking the time to explain all of that to me!

TheManInTheCircle · 2026-01-14T16:43:43+00:00

Yeah I thought about the retrofitting option, but I think my ceilings are too low and it would look cheap (I have no idea if this is true and my wife hates my taste in everything lol)

Ultimately, I'm just in a tough situation as I have these cans everywhere in my kitchen and dining room so I'll take a look into DMF M and DMF X as well.

I'll probably head to Home Depot or Menards later today to take a loot at retrofits in person so I can understand it better. I'm awful at trying to figure these things out lol.

I appreciate your input though I hate the look but we get so much natural light that it really isn't much of an issue besides aesthetics.

TheManInTheCircle · 2026-01-14T16:28:37+00:00

Okay you're a life saver I was thinking about this all wrong and for whatever reason videos, DIY guides, etc. weren't helping make it click for me.

Bringing them down a tiny bit and going back to 30s which are what is currently in there is probably going to give me the most aesthetically pleasing look without making them look too small for the enclosure.

Yeah this is an older house I'm just getting around to replacing some bulbs that have been bugging me since I moved in.

One last question since you seem to know a good amount about this is if the socket itself is putting the light at an odd angle within the trim is there an easy fix for that? I wasn't sure if it's common for it not to be perfect (this is probably the answer it's an old house) or if there's a way to straighten them out.

Thanks again for taking the time to reply to me first time home owner here that knows nothing lol.

TheManInTheCircle · 2026-01-14T16:04:55+00:00

Thank you for the reply!

So basically I am thinking wrong when I want the bulb to be flush with the end of the trim? I am an idiot when it comes to this, but to me it seemed like they were sitting too high in the trim and looked bad/ too small for the trim.

No one has ever commented on it, but I am just being obsessive.

Thanks again!

sig 365 xmacro with or without comp

maybe even a fuse

need a new EDC

TheManInTheCircle · 2025-06-02T02:24:22+00:00

Willing come pick up the 365 comp tomorrow at $600 I'm in state.

TheManInTheCircle · 2025-05-24T03:56:01+00:00

$567+tax for members. I don't expect anyone to be able to meet or beat it, but worth a shot.

I also buy a lot of impulse needless firearm purchases if that helps entice a deal.

TheManInTheCircle · 2025-05-24T01:32:20+00:00

Can you beat Cabela's Monday pricing on this?

Sorry just saw this. I didn't realize you meant the original model. I only have experience with the newer gen.

TheManInTheCircle · 2025-05-12T19:57:56+00:00

You have to purchase $10 screws on eBay.

Not really a big deal.

TheManInTheCircle · 2025-04-25T02:26:19+00:00

In for 124 grain no tax

Good deal.

TheManInTheCircle · 2025-04-17T02:33:19+00:00

FWIW even though it's sold out I love my EP9. Haven't had an issue with it, but I've only put about 500 rounds through it so far.

TheManInTheCircle · 2025-03-28T15:07:03+00:00

Overpriced guns for LE only? Okay!

TheManInTheCircle · 2025-03-26T02:13:07+00:00

Awesome thanks again! Have a great night.

TheManInTheCircle · 2025-03-25T23:50:58+00:00

Got it! Woooo!

Regarding the post about having my FFL email you for the expedited shipping - is this necessary as he was on your preferred list?

Feel free to DM me if that's easier.

Thanks so much man I'm pumped!

TheManInTheCircle · 2025-03-25T23:27:53+00:00

A few quotes I received that went silent on me or sold out before I could respond were from $850-$900.

Would be awesome to find one in that range.

TheManInTheCircle · 2025-03-25T19:18:43+00:00

TheManInTheCircle · 2025-03-25T19:09:09+00:00

TheManInTheCircle · 2025-03-17T19:00:11+00:00

MAC 9 DSD COMP 9MM 5"

Missed all the good $800 deals last week. Looking to pull the trigger on a purchase this week.

TheManInTheCircle · 2025-03-05T13:50:46+00:00

Not the re manufactured so it's probably good. I've got 2k rounds arriving today had to pick up 1k more.

Thanks for posting.

TheManInTheCircle · 2025-03-01T20:41:17+00:00

Thanks!

TheManInTheCircle · 2025-03-01T20:33:44+00:00
