BEST PREMIUM ADJUSTABLE LIGHT
How To Buy: Lumens.com Cutsheet: WAC SILO X10 Dimmer Recommended By Manufacturer: Lutron 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) Lumens: 790 Wattage: 10 Power Supply/Driver: Included within the light. Indoor/Outdoor: Approved for indoor (dry) locations. 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 PREMIUM 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 recommends electronic low voltage (ELV) dimmers for this light. For my projects I like to use Lutron ELV dimmers. It is always worthwhile budgeting for quality dimmers that are compatible with the LED you have chosen.
