How To Fit Kitchen Down Lights

How To Fit Kitchen Down Lights Another is that if you want to put LED down lights on a dimmer switch (and you probably do, since all the best home lighting designs depend on variability) then you need to ensure that you explicitly source dimmable LED spotlights (most are not) and get yourself a suitable low-load LED dimmer switch. Finally, if you've never seen LED kitchen lights before then be prepared for the fact that they initially appear somehow "whiter" than what you may be ...

What To Look For When Buying LED Spotlights

What To Look For When Buying LED Spotlights Many LEDs exhibit a power factor of about 0.6 though it's not hard to find some that are comfortably above the magic 0.9 mark, such as this rather nice 4W dimmable GU10 LED (which you can read more about here). Anyway, that's covered cost savings and efficiency (which are obviously intimately connected), but what else should you consider? Well there is also the aesthetic side of things. Lighting is not just ...

They rely on a regular light switch to send instructions to an internal dimming mechanism and will absolutely not work if connected to a dimmer switch. Genuinely dimmable LED light bulbs have been few and far between and suffered from three ...

Introducing LED Kitchen Lighting

LED Kitchen Lighting This rather nicely kills two birds with one stone - sharp accent lighting and the reflected light more easily fills the space with soft, diffuse ambient light. Alternatively opt for high brightness, wide beam angle dimmable LED lights and control the level in the traditional way by simply fitting a suitable dimmer switch. The determining factors for ...

Replacing Halogen Lamps With LED Spotlights

Replacing 12v Halogen Lamps Another notable benefit with low voltage lamps is the enormous range of styles, wattages and particularly beam angles whereas line voltage lamps offer much less choice. Both types tend to be easily dimmable, but low-voltage halogen lamps are especially well suited to dimming, assuming you have suitable transformers. On the subject of which, it is normal practice to configure one transformer per lamp since it makes the ...
