Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | BEST MINIMALIST EXTERIOR ADJUSTABLE CYLINDER:
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 lists out acceptable dimmer types in the cutsheet on page 7. From this list, I like to use Lutron dimmers on my projects. Note: It is always worthwhile budgeting for quality dimmers that are compatible with the LED you have chosen.
