Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | BEST MINIMALIST EXTERIOR CYLINDER:
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 provides a dimmer report listing out which dimmers are compatible with this light fixture. From this list, I like to use Lutron ELV dimmers on my projects. It is always worthwhile budgeting for quality dimmers that are compatible with the LED you have chosen.
