Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | BEST PREMIUM 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 dimmer (per 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.
Value Engineering & Alternates:
If you find that you need to trim cost on your project, consider a less costly picture light from Kuzco. If on the other hand you're willing to spend a bit more for optimal lighting, I highly recommend the Uptown LED picture light from WAC.
