How To Buy: Amazon Cutsheet: Lithonia Catenary LED 4' Long Dimmer Recommended By Manufacturer: Lutron DV-603P Color Rendering: 90+ (never buy LEDs that have a score less than 90). A score of 80 is actually worse than fluorescent lighting. Color Temperature: 3000K (I don't recommend 4000K cool white for residential projects, even though this light can be 'switched' to a cool white setting) Lumens: 3800 Wattage: 42 Power Supply/Driver: The driver is built into the light fixture itself. Indoor/Outdoor: Approved for indoor (damp) locations. Saving Cost: Changing to a less costly strip light can be an option for saving cost on your project.
Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | BEST PREMIUM LAUNDRY STORAGE 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 in the cutsheet here. For my projects I like to use Lutron 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 strip light can be an option for saving cost on your project. The downside of this alternate is that the light fixture itself is larger. If on the other hand you'd like find a garage light to spotlight a luxury car, I recommend looking at a surface mounted track light system like this Cloudy Bay fixture.
