BEST VALUE RECESSED ADJUSTABLE LIGHT

Snapshot:

How To Buy: Amazon Cutsheet: Feit LEDR6XT/ADJ/6WYCA Dimmer Recommended By Manufacturer: Lutron DVLV-103P Color Rendering: 90+ Color Temperature: 2700k, 3000K (I don't recommend 3500K for residential projects). Housing Recommended by Manufacturer: Halo H27RICAT IC-Airtight 6” Lumens: 850 Wattage: 13 Power Supply/Driver: Driver is built in, and included with the LED. Indoor/Outdoor: Approved for indoor installations. Saving Cost: If you find that you need to trim cost on your project, switching to a track light can be an effective strategy. This is because fewer light fixtures are required in order to achieve the same light levels. It should take an electrician less time to install a multi-head track fixture light than to install several individual recessed lights.

Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | BEST VALUE 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 (Feit Electric Approved Standard Dimmer List). 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.
