“We decided to renovate our back porch, including pavers, retractable sun shades, patio furniture, plants, and ceiling fans. The existing ceiling of the patio only had can lights. While they provided lighting, we wanted to extend the use of our porch into the hotter months by converting the can lights to ceiling fans. However, accessing the space above the ceiling is difficult and the project seemed overwhelming. The Can Converter made the addition of ceiling fans much easier. Plus I could do it myself instead of having to hire an electrician to replace the existing cans lights with traditional ceiling fan supports. The kits arrived on Thursday, I installed them on Friday. What a difference they make! Thank you to everyone at The Can Converter for making this possible! ”

“A pendant had been attached to the can light above the kitchen sink. It was ugly and did not provide much light. I removed this, installed the Can Converter, added a track over that, and installed two pendants. Now the sink and adjacent work area are much brighter, and the track and converter provide a finished look to the ceiling. ”

“Our fireplace had a recessed light that emitted harsh, stark lighting on whatever was placed beneath it. We used the Can Converter to install a fun celestial pendant light, and now it's our favorite spot in the house! ”
