“We added 3 new pendant lights over our kitchen island. The first one was a converted can light. The other two were new 4 inch junction boxes (eliminating one off center can light) running wiring from the converted can. We bought matching medallions from Can Converter to make the junction box lights match. You might notice a previously converted can light over the sink using the Can Converter as well.”

“Our home had a sad can light over a big freestanding bathtub and my wife wanted to change up the look with a fancy chandelier. While planning the project, I discovered the Can Converter would allow me to quickly configure the existing housing to securely hold the weight of the chandelier. This kit saved me so much time as I didn’t have to remove the old housing, install a new one and repair drywall. I painted the flat medallion to match the ceiling and installation took me about an hour.”

“We have two very comfortable rocking chairs for our front porch, but we never used them because there was never enough breeze to keep the mosquitoes away. We decided to try to convert our can lights to porch fans, and Can Converter was just what we needed to make it a do-it-yourself project! Can Converter made the fan install easy and they work great with no wobble. We now look forward to many relaxing evenings on the porch. ”
