Luvkczc Recessed Can Light Conversion Kit for 4" and 6" Ceiling Fixtures - Pendant/Hanging Light Upgrade, Includes E26 Socket, Mounting Bracket, Round Ceiling Plate（Black）

Why I tried this conversion kit

I’ve been staring at a lonely recessed can over a dining table for too long, wishing it were a pendant. I didn’t want to open the ceiling, fish new cable, or install a new junction box. The Luvkczc conversion kit promised a cleaner middle path: adapt the existing can into a sturdy mounting point and hide the old opening with a decorative medallion. After a weekend install and a few weeks of living with it, I’m impressed by how solid and tidy this solution is—and where its limits are.

What’s included

The kit is built around a metal mounting system that spans the opening of a 4" or 6" recessed can and a decorative, flat round medallion that covers the cutout. In the box I received:

• Adjustable mounting bar with hardware to fit both 4" and 6" cans
• Round metal plate and fixture mounting bracket
• E26 screw-in socket adapter and tail leads
• Decorative medallion (flat profile, black, roughly 8" diameter), paintable
• Screws and anchors specific to the bracket system

All of the structural components are metal; the medallion is molded plastic. The visible result is a flat, minimalist round “ceiling plate” that sits between the ceiling and your pendant’s canopy, with no exposed screws.

Installation experience

I consider this a DIY-friendly install, but you should still be comfortable working around electrical fixtures. As with any light fixture work, I shut off the breaker and verified the can was dead before I started.

My sequence:

1. Remove the can’s trim and bulb.
2. Screw the E26 adapter into the can’s existing lamp holder and route the leads through the opening.
3. Expand and position the adjustable mounting bar across the can’s opening; secure it per the instructions (the fit for both 4" and 6" cans was straightforward).
4. Attach the round metal plate and the fixture mounting bracket to the bar.
5. Make the electrical connection to the pendant using the adapter leads, tuck the wiring, and then seat the medallion flush to the ceiling.
6. Mount the pendant’s canopy to the bracket.

Two things stood out. First, the bar and plate create a rigid span that feels more substantial than a typical “screw-in-only” converter. Second, the finished look is clean—once the medallion and canopy are in place, there’s no visible hardware.

From power-off to lights-on, the process took about 40 minutes, including measuring pendant height and tidying up. I didn’t have to patch drywall or expand the opening. If I ever want to go back to a recessed can, reversing the steps takes just a few minutes.

Fit and compatibility

• Cans: It adjusted cleanly to both 4" and 6" housings in my tests.
• Ceiling type: The kit is listed for indoor and damp locations and works on sloped ceilings up to 45°. On a slope, make sure your pendant has a swivel or gimbal canopy.
• Load: Rated for 50 lb, which is unusually robust for this category. More on that below.
• Power: The E26 adapter draws from the existing can’s socket; no new wiring was required.
• Aesthetics: The black medallion plays well with black or dark-toned fixtures. It’s paintable if you want it to match the ceiling.

One practical check: measure your pendant’s canopy. The medallion is generous enough to cover a standard 6" can opening with margin to spare, but very small minimalist canopies can look undersized against the flat disk. Conversely, oversized canopies look fine because they simply overlap the medallion.

Build and design

The structural parts are reassuringly rigid, and the medallion’s molding is crisp. The flat profile gives a modern look without trying to mimic ornate plaster rosettes. Being plastic, the medallion won’t chip like painted metal might, but it can show scuffs if you’re not careful during install. If you plan to paint it to match a white ceiling, use a bonding primer formulated for plastics to avoid adhesion issues; a light sanding and a thin topcoat gave me a seamless match.

I also appreciate that all the fasteners disappear in the final assembly. It reads as a purpose-built ceiling plate, not as a retrofit bandage.

Safety and load handling

The headline spec is the 50 lb load rating. While that’s impressive, real-world suitability depends on more than the bracket:

• The existing recessed can must be firmly secured to framing or a mounting bar. If your can is loose or clipped to drywall only, fix that before hanging anything heavy.
• Weight isn’t the only factor; dynamic loads (kids tugging the pendant, vibration on a sloped ceiling) add stress. For heavy, multi-arm chandeliers, I prefer a dedicated box fastened to framing. For typical pendants and medium chandeliers, this kit feels plenty stout.
• The kit’s cETL listing (and CSA marking on mine) is reassuring from a compliance standpoint, but always check local code if you’re in a strict jurisdiction. If you’re on a dimmer, verify compatibility with your pendant’s driver or lamps.

In day-to-day use, my medium-weight glass pendant (around 8 lb) has stayed perfectly stable with no tilt or sag.

On sloped ceilings and damp areas

On a 30° vaulted ceiling, the bracket held firm and the medallion seated well. The limiting factor is usually the pendant canopy; use a swivel to keep the fixture plumb. The damp-location listing covers places like bathrooms (not shower zones) and covered porches; the kit itself doesn’t waterproof your pendant, so match the pendant’s rating to the space.

Living with it

The real win is visual: the medallion cleans up the scar of a recessed can, and the hidden hardware keeps attention on the pendant. I also like the flexibility. If I ever change my mind—or a future owner prefers recessed lighting—reverting is simple and doesn’t involve mudding and painting.

Electrically, the screw-in adapter is a convenience. I saw no flicker or intermittent behavior. If you’re replacing a dimmable BR/PAR lamp on a dimmer, expect to swap the dimmer or the pendant’s lamps to keep performance smooth.

Limitations and quirks

• The medallion is plastic. It looks good, and it’s paintable, but it needs the right primer to avoid peeling. If you want a raw metal or brass finish, this isn’t that.
• Color choice is limited. The black finish is handsome with dark fixtures; if you’re going for a “disappear into the ceiling” look, painting is the path.
• Extremely heavy chandeliers are better served by a dedicated fan/fixture-rated box. The 50 lb spec is strong, but I treat it as the top end, not the target.
• Because power is derived from the can’s E26 socket, the circuit conditions (dimmed vs. switched, load type) carry over. Plan your pendant choice accordingly.

Tips for a cleaner install

• Prepaint the medallion with a bonding primer and ceiling paint if you want it to vanish.
• Dry-fit the pendant canopy on the medallion before wiring to confirm coverage and alignment.
• On sloped ceilings, use a canopy with a built-in swivel for a plumb hang.
• Confirm the can is securely mounted to framing; address any wobble first.
• Label and save your can trim and bulb if you plan to revert later.

The bottom line

The Luvkczc conversion kit does exactly what I hoped: it turns a recessed can into a credible, code-listed mounting point for a pendant without tearing into the ceiling. The metal bracketry feels robust, the finish is clean with no visible fasteners, and the flat medallion makes the retrofit look intentional rather than improvised. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable swapping light fixtures, and the flexibility to return to a recessed setup later is a nice bonus.

I recommend this kit. It’s a practical, sturdy, and aesthetically tidy way to upgrade a space from recessed to pendant lighting, especially in dining rooms, kitchen islands, and entryways where a focal fixture makes a difference. Just choose a pendant within a reasonable weight range, use a proper primer if you plan to paint the medallion, and ensure your existing can is securely mounted. For most homes, it’s the right blend of convenience and reliability.
