My question is, is there an easy way to figure out if it's two pin instead of 3 pin from the product information? I purchased what I thought were replacements, but they're three pin and I can't rip the junction box out, it's fixed into the ceiling surrounded by some kinda of plastic wrap and insulation.
Oddly enough, this pic that I ripped from reddit is from a guy in the US with the exact same flooring and lighting (mine says 4/19 too) as me. Also it turns out the light itself is 4", but the entire unit is 5". |
Are you
certain they fixed the junction box? Were you actually able to grab it and made sure it's screwed in? Most builders just leave them sitting there because it's highly likely to fail. It won't be that deep, maybe 6" from where you unplugged it when you pulled it out.
I got the YUURTA brand from amazon, I just checked my leftovers, they are 2-pin like the one you have there. 3000K is closer to 4000k in my opinion with this brand FYI, the 4000k is VERY blue.
