How To Buy: Amazon Cutsheet: Juno 2" IC 1000 Lumen LED Round Adjustable Dimmer Recommended By Manufacturer: Lutron Diva Electronic Low Voltage Dimmer DVELV-303P 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: 3000K (I don't recommend 3500K for residential projects) Housing/Mounting: Refer to manufacturer cutsheet to confirm the best mounting approach for your project. Thicker ceilings may require an adapter, and a special housing may be required if you are using spray foam on your project. Lumens: 1000 Wattage: 12 Power Supply/Driver: Sold separately than the light. The 1000 lumen driver can be found here. Indoor/Outdoor: Approved for indoor and outdoor locations (recessed into the underside of roof eaves and soffits). Saving Cost: Changing to a less costly adjustable light can be an option for reducing costs on your project.
Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | BEST MINIMALIST RECESSED ADJUSTABLE LIGHT:
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 has published a list of recommended dimmers here (Juno 600 & 1000 Lumen Dimmer Compatibility). For my projects I like to use Lutron. 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 adjustable light can be an option for reducing costs on your project. The downside of this alternate is that the light fixture itself is larger. If on the other hand you would like to find an adjustable light that is sleeker, with more finish options, you can budget more money for this luxury adjustable light from WAC.
