They are a sealed unit. You leave the original can insert into the ceiling, and take out the cover, and cut out the socket base.

Nice! Is it similar to this one?

Mine were similar but a little different. There was no adapter like his example. I used the unit that fit the Title 24 California requirement.

Best way to measure the wattage is with a watt meter that goes between the light and the AC power source. THAT is what the power company cares about.

They are about $15 bucks on ebay
