I’m trying to get 20 lumens per sq ft and these lights at 370 lumens are the only ones that will do it.
I’d be ok with dimming but these lights take 4 seconds to turn on from a cold start at their lowest dim level. It’s not until like 50% they start taking 1 second.
4 seconds????? What is this, 1930?? Test them, that can't be right. Make sure your supply is actually 120v at 15 or 20 amps first. No way should it take that long!
Chinesium.
The dimmer switch actually defaults to not allowing the lights to go below 40-50%. I assume that’s because led lights are known for having issues past that point. So you might have never actually tested led lights at their actual 10% range.
I’ve got 7 lights in 110 sq ft. The room was awkwardly shaped so there was no good way around a lot of lights without a central heavy shadow casting setup.
In a house I've been workin on the past few months, I installed several of those lites, although the dim preset switch was slightly different. They dim up and down, although around 10% they do shut off. But they turn on instantly.
You have the wrong type of dimmer switch for the LED driver most likely. You need a trailing edge dimmer. That or the lights themselves aren't dimminy compatible.
Thanks can you please tell me what brand of led lights and dimmers you normally use?
The dimmer I was using is the LED+ DIVA dimmer by Lutron
Which lights are you using can you give me a link?
