BEST LINEAR CLOSET LIGHT
How To Buy: Amazon Cutsheet: Nuvo Satco 65-1096 Dimmer Recommended By Manufacturer: This light isn't dimmable, however it has an motion sensor to activate the light when the closet door opens. 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: 3000K (I don't recommend 3500K for residential projects) Lumens: 3200 Wattage: 40W Power Supply/Driver: The driver is built into the light fixture. Indoor/Outdoor: Approved for damp (indoor) locations. Saving Cost: Changing to a less costly closet light can be an option for reducing costs on your project.

Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | BEST LINEAR CLOSET LIGHT:


Value Engineering & Alternates:

Changing to a less costly closet light can be an option for reducing costs on your project. The main difference is that this alternate doesn't have a sensor to turn on the light when motion is detected. If on the other hand you would like to find an elegant lighting solution for walk-in closets then I recommend an multi-head adjustable light from WAC.
