Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | Best Minimalist Wall Washer 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 (WAC Dimming Report). 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:
If I find that I need to reduce cost on a project, a less costly wall washer from Feit can be part of a cost reducing strategy. If on the other hand a project calls for a sleeker design, with superior optics, I like to budget more for this luxury wall washer from WAC.
