Good, but mind the details |

Build quality is good. But the claim that this unit 'adjusts [tilts] 90 degrees' is flagrantly false. The adjustment bracket is clearly marked at 5 and 10 degree intervals, with a maximum tilt of 50 degrees. More than 50-degree tilt is not geometrically possible. Hard to believe that this whopper is just a typo, after another reviewer mentioned it too. It does indeed rotate 359 degrees without having to remove the trim from the housing, a handy feature.
Also, the claim that it accommodates MR16 bulbs is only partially true. With our 120-volt MR16 LED bulbs, the GU10 terminals fouled the inside of the trim before the bulb was even fully inserted. The length inside the aluminum tube is insufficient for longer MR16 bulbs. We had to add 1-inch extensions on the front, using 2-inch dia. PVC pipe to make this trim work with our longer MR16 bulbs.
Overall, this is a good quality unit, but misdescribed. So mind the details.
RESPONSE FROM USALIGHT.COM: The claim of 90 degrees was simply a typo. Manufacturer specifications state this trim will tilt to a maximum of 75 degrees. This trim is a Low Voltage trim only. This is not to be used with 120v GU10 MR16 lamps.
