Hi! I am wondering if anyone has installed Globe Electric IC rated 12 watt 6" LED lights, part #91126 on Amazon, the shallow ones that hang in holes cut in the ceiling.

I read that some of the LED lighting sold on Amazon is not UL listed and not legal to install in homes in the United States, and this is what I'm wondering about. I can still return the ones I ordered, but the return window closes tomorrow, Jan 31. I installed one of these 7 months ago in a bathroom renovation, and they seem to be quality as I've had no problem with it.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

FWIW, The driver for those lights is ETL recognized, both in Canada and the U.S.

I consider that equal to UL recognized since both are subject to the same standards and are Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories.

That's no testament to quality, just safety.
