Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | BEST BUDGET LED PICTURE 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 recommends an Electronic Low Voltage (ELV) dimmer on the cutsheet. For my projects I like to use ELV Lutron dimmers. It is always worthwhile budgeting for quality dimmers that are compatible with the LED you have chosen.
