Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | BEST MINIMALIST TRACK LED 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. FlosUSA's cutsheet recommends using a Lutron Diva DVST dimmer. It is always worthwhile budgeting for quality dimmers that are compatible with the LED you have chosen.

Ordering Accessories:

Track lighting is generally made up of a 'kit of parts', so it is important to order everything you will need before you begin installation. I do not recommend 'mixing and matching' different product lines. For this particular product line, I recommend reaching out to a sales rep at FlosUSA to confirm that you include all the necessary accessories in your purchase.


Value Engineering & Alternates:

If you find that you need to trim cost on your project, switching to a less costly track light can be an effective strategy.
