<li>Installable without an Electricians Licence.</li>
<li>Includes Transformer Holder.</li>
<li><a title="How to install these downlight covers." href="/media-demonstrations/" target="_self">Downlight covers can be Installed from beneath or above the ceiling</a>.</li>
<li>Our <span style="color: #ff0000;">35W SilverBack</span> lamp provides equal brightness to a 50W Dichroic Halogen Lamp, but radiates most of its heat downwards and wastes no light upwards.</li>
<li>Our <span style="color: #ff0000;">20W SilverBack</span> globe can effectively compete  against Compact Fluoro Downlights by producing <a title="Globe output tests in a Downlight configuration" href="/downlight-lamp-output-tests/" target="_self">brighter light output than most CFL globes, while consuming only 20W of energy</a>.  With the Downlight Mitt this retrofit effectively fixes the major problems associated with recessed lighting by enabling a downlight cover with an R-value and fire Rating which completely covers the back of the fitting to protect against insulation fire.</li>
