If however you still need to trim costs, changing to a flushmount light can be a way to reduce cost while still providing general illumination in a room.

Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | BEST VALUE ADJUSTABLE TRACK LED:


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 using a dimmer from Cloudy Bay. It is always worthwhile budgeting for quality dimmers that are compatible with the LED you have chosen.


Value Engineering & Alternates:

If you find that you need to trim cost on your project, you'll be hard pressed to find a quality LED track light at a lower cost than this.
