In modern residential and commercial lighting upgrades, Retrofit LED Downlights have become the gold standard. Instead of replacing the entire fixture, a retrofit solution allows you to utilize existing recessed housings, making the transition from traditional lighting to high-efficiency LED a matter of minutes.
For buyers seeking reliability and performance, OMD—a professional lighting manufacturer with nearly two decades of expertise—offers a series of products that set the benchmark for quality in the North American market.
What is a Retrofit LED Downlight?
A Retrofit LED Downlight is an integrated LED module designed to replace traditional lamps (such as Halogen or CFL) in existing recessed "cans." It features a built-in trim and driver, fitting perfectly into standard 4-inch or 5/6-inch housings. It provides a cleaner look, better energy efficiency, and a significantly longer lifespan than traditional bulbs.

1. 5CCT Selectable Color Temperature
Eliminate the guesswork of choosing between "Warm White" or "Daylight." OMD products feature 5CCT (Color Temperature Selectable) technology, allowing you to toggle between five settings on a single fixture:
- 2700K/3000K: Warm and cozy, perfect for bedrooms and living areas.
- 3500K/4000K: Neutral and clean, ideal for kitchens and workspaces.
- 5000K: Crisp daylight, best for garages or commercial settings.
2. Superior Color Accuracy (CRI > 90)
Color Rendering Index (CRI) determines how accurately a light source reveals the true colors of objects. OMD’s downlights maintain a CRI > 90, ensuring your home decor, food, and skin tones look vibrant and natural. This meets thestrict requirements of California Title 24.
3. Industry-Leading Safety Certifications
Safety and compliance are non-negotiable in lighting. OMD products are fully certified with:
- UL/cUL/ETL/cETLus: Meeting rigorous safety standards.
- FCC: Complying with electromagnetic interference regulations.

FAQ: Everything You Need to Know About Retrofit LEDs

Yes. As long as the product is Wet Location Rated. OMD’s retrofit downlights are specifically engineered to handle moisture, making them safe for use in bathrooms, showers, and even covered outdoor porches.
Q2: Do I need an electrician to install these?
Generally, no. If your existing housing has a standard E26 socket or a TP24 connector, OMD’s "Plug & Play" design allows for a tool-free installation. It is as simple as changing a lightbulb.

No. OMD fixtures are optimized for compatibility with most leading LED dimmers. Our high CRI > 90 standard ensures that even at low light levels, the color remains stable and flicker-free.
