A retrofit LED downlight is typically an integrated LED system that can be used to easily convert incandescent, fluorescent or HID (high intensity discharge) recessed downlights to the latest in LED technology without special tools or rewiring. Recessed lights are a staple of ceiling lighting in residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces. In the United States, a conventional downlight generally has a metal housing or can, an electrical junction box that is attached to the housing, a light bulb that is in a bulb holder or socket, and a conical-shaped recessed trim that reflects and directs the light emitted by the bulb. By its very definition or purpose, retrofit implies replacing the light bulb and trim of the existing luminaires with an all-in-one LED light engine.
