Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | BEST BUDGET LED VANITY 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 here (Feit Electric Approved Standard Dimmer List). For my projects I like to use Lutron. It is always worthwhile budgeting for quality dimmers that are compatible with the LED you have chosen.


Value Engineering & Alternates:

If you find that you need to trim cost on your project, this particular vanity light is already a fairly cost effective solution. Incandescent screw in light bulbs can be considered instead of LED bulbs, in order to save cost. If on the other hand you'd like to find a vanity light that is somewhat more sleek and refined, I like to use this contemporary cylinder vanity light from Lithonia.
