I recently had to select a surface mounted LED light for the renovation of an 8 unit condominium building with units typically selling for $1.3 million. This was to avoid fire rated fixture enclosures.

Some of the lights were totally unacceptable. I notice the Sunco has a slightly domed lens which might be unattractive.

I selected the Halo SLD4 Surface LED Downlight 2700K because it looked the best when the light was on. Its important to put them on dimmers.

The only "pro" was the priceI which might be considerably more expensive than the Sunco light.

I would not make a choice without seeing a sample right installed. If you can't do that in the house, see if a local lighting showroom has them installed.

We did not want recessed lights for a variety of reasons in our build and opted for surface mount led in certain applications. Ours have a slight dome to them, something I don't have an issue with. The brand we used is WAC and I believe they are all the soft white 3000k. We're still happy with them after 2 years.

Edited to add - don't make any surface mount ceiling lights your only light source - it's not inviting or pleasant to live that way. Plan on lamps, sconces, chandelier or drop lights etc even if you have to add to or replace some of your surface mount over time as you can afford to do so.

Surface mounted lights mean "hot" spots everywhere that surface lights are placed.

Be sure you see and evaluate whether or not you find this appealing and livable before purchasing.

Pesinally, 1-2 such lights somewhere would be acceptable, but having large numbers in an open space, or throughout the house, would be totally unacceptable.

Evaluate and choose wisely.

This is our current plan. using disc LED in "hallways" and office and living room and closet and laundry and mud room

There is a lot of confusion about recessed lighting. I won't go too deeply into it but the primary purpose of recessed lighting should be to light task surfaces and walls and to partially conceal the light source.

Since there is no light cut-off angle for the disks you will definitely see the lens but if the lights are close enough to a wall (I don't know how close) the wall will receive some light and that tends to make the room seem larger and more open. But if they are above furniture and isles in kitchens they will light the tops of people's heads and cast shadows on work surfaces. Your kitchen layout is precisely what you should avoid.

I would at least use recessed lights in the kitchen and place them directly above the front edges of the counters. Put two lights above the sink. An adjustable (angle) fixture is helpful in those locations.

I'm not sure of the brand, but we used the LED disc lights at our last house on the porch and they recess in. IMHO, the ones that recess in look better as they mimic true recessed lights better.

we are going for surface mount not recessed I think.

Do hot spots bother you?

vigil.... not sure what hot spots are? ... a concentrated area of light?

A "hot spot" is a term for a ceiling surface mounted light fixture (or a wall mounted fixture) which creates a very bright spot, i.e., "hot spot" where it is mounted.

Hot spots often create glare, attract and divert attention from other areas and can be a general interior nuisance and distraction.

There is a lighting philosophy which holds that light sources should not be visible; only the illuminated areas should be visible. It's where recessed ceiling fixtures originated.

It's one thing to have surface mounted ceiling fixtures in a garage, storage area or closet. It's another thing entirely to have them throughout the primary living spaces of a home.

Choose carefully.

These aren't the exact ones we used but are very similar. Notice how they are designed to be a sleeker profile at the surface level and recess in unlike the ones you posted.
