The Amico 12-pack 6-inch ultra-thin LED recessed ceiling lights are canless wafer downlights designed for homeowners tackling DIY remodels or new constructions in spaces like kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and home offices.

Each light outputs 1050 lumens at 12W, matching a 110W halogen while slashing energy costs by up to 90%.
