was wondering if these lights were still available or where you can buy trims for them. I called CR restore and they said they could not find them

We have those downstairs. The downside is you turn them on with a push toggle switch and it sinks into the ceiling. Ick. We might take ours out (don’t gasp) but they don’t work very well.

I wonder if these are a lot better?

If anybody in Iowa can pick these up, I’d be interesting in purchasing some of them from you, as I am restoring a ‘57 walkout rambler. Am in Minneapolis.

Pam – Was there a website that sold the new square recessed lighting? Those old ones are amazing, but looks like I can’t get my hands on one of those!

Are these the size that would go into the soffit over a kitchen sink? If so, I need one of the rectangular ones! I have such a light fixture, but without the cover. But I’m a long way from Cedar Rapids. Oh well, maybe something like this will turn up at my local ReStore.
