How To Buy: Lumens.com Cutsheet: Juno 2" IC 1000 Lumens LED Round Cone 2LED Trim G2 DC Dimmer Recommended By Manufacturer: Lutron Diva DVCL-253P 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: 2700K, 3000K (I don't recommend 3500K for residential projects) Housing/Mounting: Refer to manufacturer cutsheet to confirm the best mounting approach for your project. Thicker ceilings may require an adapter, and a special housing may be required if you are using spray foam on your project. Lumens: 1000 Wattage: 10.9 Power Supply/Driver: Sold separately than the light. The 1000 lumen driver can be found here. Indoor/Outdoor: Approved for indoor and outdoor locations (recessed into the underside of roof eaves and soffits). Saving Cost: Changing to a less costly downlight can be an option for saving cost on your project.
Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | BEST EXTERIOR RECESSED DOWNLIGHT:
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 (Juno 600 & 1000 Lumen Dimmer Compatibility). 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 downlight can be a method 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 to find an exterior downlight that is more sleek and refined, with more finish options, you can budget more money for this luxury downlight from Lucifer.
