How To Buy: Lumens.com Cutsheet: WAC 2" Volta Wallwash Trim R2RWT Dimmer Recommended By Manufacturer: Lutron DVSTV 0-10V 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: Volta Round 2 Inch New Construction Housing 22W Lumens: 877 Wattage: 22 Power Supply/Driver: Included as part of the light fixture housing. Indoor/Outdoor: Approved for indoor and outdoor locations (when recessed into the underside of roof eaves and soffits). Saving Cost: Changing to a less costly wall washer can be an effective strategy to reduce project cost, however there are fewer finish options.
Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | Best Wall Washer 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 lists out acceptable dimmer types in the cutsheet. 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:
Changing to a less costly wall washer can be a method for saving cost on your project, if a white finish is acceptable for your design.
