My friends and I installed some new flush mount, LEDs in my train room this weekend.  It was a little bit difficult working over the layout but the results are fantastic.  The room looks better overall as do the trains and scenery.

Here are a couple stock photos of the light fixtures.

My friend Brian is using them in his shop and layout room and I thought they looked great so I tried them.  We used remodel cans to mount the fixtures.  The existing lights were T8 fluorescent.  They had a harsh, blue tone.  The new LEDs have a very warm, natural, soft white.  The layout has a warm,summer day feel to it now.

 

Here is a 2:30 am, just finished phone photo.  Two of my best friends helped.  The room is 44'/18' with 15 lights on the ceiling.

Dave the lighting and photos look great.

I also used similar LED trim inserts for both 5"/6" cans as well as the 4" cans and they work great.  Costco has these for $7.99 each; IMO a price too crazy to pass on to give a try.  As you showed, they are easy to install with the spring clips and standard bulb plug adapter.  They are also dimmable with the proper type dimmer switch.

I just got done remodeling my basement for my new train room in December.  I installed 27 recessed cans.  I looked for a long time for an LED light that had high lumens but have a color range of 2700K (soft white).  The Daylight ones are too harsh.  I used these which are 1245 lumens (100 watt bulb equivalent), dimmable, 2700K and only 20.00 per light.  They are fantastic, soft bright light and I have them on dimmers so I can dial them down if I want.  Highly recommended and they replace any Flood blub in a standard 6 Inch can.
