Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | BEST BUDGET FRIENDLY WALL 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 bulbs. This particular light bulb manufacturer (Feit) has published a list of recommended dimmers here (Feit Electric Approved Standard Dimmer List). From this list, I like to use Lutron dimmers for my projects. It is always worthwhile budgeting for quality dimmers that are compatible with the LED you have chosen.
Value Engineering & Alternates:
Changing to a surface mounted ceiling light can be an option for reducing cost, assuming you have a soffit or eave that a light can be mounted to. If on the other hand you'd like to find a similar sconce which is more sleek and refined, I recommend checking out WAC's Dot Ceiling Mount.
