How To Buy: Lumens.com Cutsheet: Lucifer Fraxion3 Slim Dimmer Recommended By Manufacturer: Lutron Diva DVCL-253P Color Rendering: 90+ (never buy LEDs that have a score less than 90). A score of 80 is actually worse than fluorescent lighting. Color Temperature: 2700K Housing/Mounting: Lumens: 896 Wattage: 14 Power Supply/Driver: I recommend choosing an integral driver. Indoor/Outdoor: Choose a rating of "Wet" for exterior applications. Saving Cost: Changing to a less costly downlight can be an option for saving cost on your project.
Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | BEST EXTERIOR RECESSED DOWNLIGHT:
Dimming:
All dimmers are not created equal. Flickering and buzzing can often be traced back to using a dimmer that isn’t compatible with the LED, or to connecting too many LEDs to a single dimmer. Quality lighting manufacturers often publish literature on which dimmer lines can be used with their LED light fixture. This particular light manufacturer lists out acceptable dimmer types in the cutsheet. For my projects I like to use Lutron dimmers. It is always worthwhile budgeting for quality dimmers that are compatible with the LED you have chosen.
Value Engineering & Alternates:
Changing to a less costly downlight can be a method for saving cost on your project. The downside of this alternate is that fewer finish options are available.
