Tips for Using This Light on Your Project:
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 cutsheet recommends an ELV Dimmer. 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.
Value Engineering & Alternates:
Changing to a less costly exterior flushmount light can be a strategy for reducing cost on your project, if this particular fixture is too expensive. If on the other hand you'd like to find a flushmount with a sleek glass appearance, I like to use the WAC Dot light.
