CHARKEE EPCL-12X-ETL-5CCT 24-Pack 6-Inch Canless LED Recessed Lights

Why it’s worth it

At six inches, these CHARKEE canless LED lights offer a low-profile way to add recessed ceiling lighting across a room or several areas. Each light produces 1,050 lumens and uses 12 watts, with a listed 110-watt equivalent. Would a different light color suit the room better at different times of day? The five selectable color temperatures let you choose from 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K using the switch on the junction box.

The flat wafer design provides a flush-mounted alternative to traditional recessed fixtures that use a can housing. Aluminum construction and the included junction boxes support a canless setup, while the selectable color makes it easier to coordinate the lighting with bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, dining rooms, or other indoor spaces. For a renovation, they can also be used to replace existing fixtures.

Quick overview

This 24-pack combines the LED lights with junction boxes, making it practical to plan consistent recessed lighting across multiple ceiling locations. Each light is round, measures 6.7 by 6.7 by 0.4 inches, and mounts flush to the ceiling. The fixture operates on 120 volts and is designed for indoor use.

The color-temperature choice is useful when one fixed white tone does not suit every room: warmer settings can support a softer feel in a bedroom or living room, while cooler settings offer another choice for a kitchen or workspace. These are use examples based on the selectable settings, not preset room modes. The switch on the junction box controls the chosen color temperature. Dimming from 5% to 100% is available when paired with a dimmer, which is not included.

Customers describe the lights as bright and attractive, and some say installation was easy. Those impressions can help set expectations, while the listed output and selectable settings provide the concrete details for planning a lighting layout.

Everyday use

For installation, the lights are intended for ceiling thicknesses from 0.12 to 0.75 inches, and the junction box requires a minimum of 2 inches of ceiling space. These dimensions are useful to account for when planning a new layout or replacing existing ceiling lights. The low-profile design suits projects where a canless recessed fixture is preferred over a traditional can-style housing.

Once installed, choose one of the five color-temperature settings at the junction box. If you want adjustable brightness, pair the fixture with a dimmer for the listed 5%–100% dimming range. The package includes the LED recessed lights and junction boxes. The product lists ETL, Energy Star, and FCC specifications, and CHARKEE states a five-year warranty.

Should you buy it?

This set makes sense if you want to outfit several indoor ceiling locations with matching six-inch recessed lights and value having five white-light settings in one fixture. Its 1,050-lumen output, canless wafer form, and optional dimming provide practical choices for a coordinated installation, whether the project is a kitchen, living area, bedroom, or another suitable indoor space. Choose it when a flush-mounted, low-profile look and adjustable color temperature matter more than using a conventional recessed can fixture.
