Review: Good product and here are some installation tips - I installed 2 of these today and think they are a great product but there are some things I learned during the installation that may be helpful to others. - I highly recommend watching the Youtube installation video several times. The instructions are adequate but I found it helpful to watch the video and get an overall understanding of how the installation goes. My installation was one of the most difficult because there were no screws in the can that I could use. The video talks about installation in cans that have no screws or screws in a triangular configuration or screws that are not in a triangular configuration. I had a no-screws installation. - One thing that is mentioned in the paper installation instructions that I hadn't see elsewhere was that the product requires that the hanger bars for the light can are resting on the drywall. If your hanger bars are above the drywall, they don't recommend the installation. This means they are assuming some of the strength of the installation is coming from the drywall, which makes sense but it was something I wasn't aware of prior to purchasing. - Having a right angle drill is very handy for this installation. Instead of using it to try to start the self-tapping screws, I recommend drilling a pilot hole with a 3/32 drill bit and then starting the screws by hand with a stubby screwdriver. I found it easier to get the drill bit to grip on the galvanized steel can than the screws. - When you are screwing in the threaded pipe, be careful of the wires coming out at the top. It's very easy to cause abrasion on the wire insulation at the top of the pipe as you screw it into the plate. I wish there was a way to protect the wire insulation because I didn't like the damage that was done to the wire insulation. - If you are installing a fan, it's important that you screw the baseplate into the distancing screws firmly. This prevents the baseplate from rotating when you are mounting the fan. Like I said, my installation was difficult but no fault on the product. I would use it again. The only improvement I can suggest is figuring out some way to keep the wires from being abraded/cut by the threaded pipe as you screw it in.
Review: Good product - The conversion kit does the job, I hung an outdoor ceiling fan (consider weight limits). The kit works fine but be prepared to use the instructions as a general guid. A regular drill didn’t work for me, not enough can diameter clearance. I also found it easier to attach the 3 kit support pieces before attaching the actual hanging plate. The first installation took about 2 hours but once I made several installation and tool adjustments the time dropped to around 45 minutes from start to finish(including hanging the fan… a reasonable amount of time in my opinion. I have 4 additional fans to hang on the back porch and will be using the conversion kits.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much better than locally availible units
*by K***S on May 19, 2013*

Tried the one from the local store and it was a complete failure. Not even sure what application it could be used in. So I searched for and found this unit. While more expensive, it worked very well. We were converting a over the sink can into a track type light in the kitchen. The attachment process to the can was simple and very easy. One trick/tool that should be considered for this type of thing is a flexible adapter for your power screw driver. This tool makes working with the screws in the can easy. I had the converter brace mounted in about 5 minutes (my can was one with the 3 screws described and did not require any retrofitting.) The unit lost a start in the design of the plate that attaches to the main bracket for you to attach your fixture. The hole spacing was good and worked with my fixture mount. My one suggestion to the company would be to make the plate have some gaps/hole through which you can run down your wires. I did end up drilling a couple of big holes in the plate to allow this. Otherwise the unit was very well thought out, the parts are substantial and seem well made. I would highly recommend it. To address some points I saw in other reviews from the perspective of an advanced DIYer: 1,
