The Cooper SLD6 can be set on a junction box, but too is not the future, using edge-lighting inefficiently and humming where on a dimmer. The LEDwaves PR15 is another with very inefficient edge lighting, demanding a large ceiling hole and is very expensive at $50. There is an ever-growing selection of better choices, shared at my Pinterest page, https://www.pinterest.com/phillipnorman52/residential-led-downlighting/.Phil Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985383574850078234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824943627340897655.post-38601223557658256582015-02-05T17:47:16.169-08:002015-02-05T17:47:16.169-08:00I am remodeling a house with exposed beam ceilings...I am remodeling a house with exposed beam ceilings. New drywall is being put up between the beams but there is only a 3 inch space above the drywall to try to install some recessed lights. This makes for limited options. I was looking at the LEDwaves PR15 lights. The contractor has never seen them and he recommended the Halo SLD6. The lighting would be for the kitchen and living room. Any thoughts or help would be great. I am going to need almost 30 lights.Clemenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07250554224441702855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824943627340897655.post-70113110693680804202014-12-14T09:38:53.408-08:002014-12-14T09:38:53.408-08:00New LED disk light products were brought to my att...New LED disk light products were brought to my attention by a commenter ... <a href="http://iledlightshome.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">iledlightshome.blogspot.com</a><br />Kilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01679770711022484744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824943627340897655.post-26351874467146622612014-09-16T16:30:31.555-07:002014-09-16T16:30:31.555-07:00My home was built in the 70's and so none of t...My home was built in the 70's and so none of the rooms in our home have light fixtures.

Put LED disk lights on 4" lighting junction boxes for now, preferably RACO 175.<br />https://picasaweb.google.com/108533770292578040917/HomeOwnerInventionInMountingOfWiringDevices<br />My installation methods apply equally in retrofit and new construction.<br />New construction is design that might be installed before drywall goes up. In attic floors, if you must have stupid stupid cans, use new construction only. Remodel designs are especially-awful hacks that may be stuffed through drywall. Here, too, I offer a fuzzing new idea. Look at that Picasa album to see how to install wall switch boxes the same in new construction and remodel, with a better method. Am I right? If you think so, please help to spread the word.Phil Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985383574850078234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824943627340897655.post-90991768667247460982014-07-03T04:52:41.326-07:002014-07-03T04:52:41.326-07:00What exactly is the difference between new constru...What exactly is the difference between new construction housing and remodel housing?

Particularly in a young industry like mainstream LED lighting. <br />(Remember when we had VHS vs BetaMax? Or BlueRay vs HD DVD?)<br /><br />The Cooper HALO 4/6 uses Rambus technology, at least that's what it says on the box. I don't know what's inside the Sylvania (Intertek?) <br /><br />There are so many variables between different installations, that I doubt one circuit/dimmer design can address them all (yet?). One example: Many dimmers need a certain load to function properly, so a dimmer that works great on 8 LED fixtures on a lighting circuit, might be different if I have only 1 or 2, and the resulting effect undesired.

I like a slider out-of-the-way, with push toggle. Noise and other luminaire misbehavior in a dimmer circuit is resolved in the luminaire design, the driver chosen. Problems are resolved where a manufacturer implements circuit innovation by Cirrus Logic. <br /><br />http://lighting.com/led-dimmer-compatibility/<br /><br />Does Cooper use the Cirrus technology? I don't think so, where hum and startup cycling persist.Phil Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985383574850078234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824943627340897655.post-13817792457942781112014-01-18T16:50:52.075-08:002014-01-18T16:50:52.075-08:00It appears LED's are very (very!) finicky when...It appears LED's are very (very!) finicky when it comes to being paired with dimmers. (Hey, we're early adopters of a still fairly nascent technology that's making it to the big stage!) When I purchased the Sylvania 70732 LED Disk Light, the Lowes associate told me they would work with any of the "green" CFL/LED dimmers. Not satisfactorily for me, though. They hum on the Cooper Lighting DAL series dimmers I have installed for example. The HALO LED Universal Surface Mount Lights work just fine, without any noise. Caveat: Can't get them dimmed to the advertised 5%, so I have yet to find the right dimmer for that, while avoiding the hum. But I haven't tried any of the Cooper "recommended" dimmers yet, which are listed on the Cooper Lighting website. <br />Seems the HALO SLD4/6 are in a different category (like the Pixi LED FlatLight™) which light around the edges (compare edge lit LED vs back lit LED TV's). This makes for a very slim/slick design, a compact driver housing, and minimal protrusion from the ceiling. <br />And yes, I do like the gasket. I find this very useful and a neat solution for the regular consumer who's not in the home weatherization business. Two birds with one stone, cost-effectively fixing some home construction sins of the past. <br />I agree, it probably won't seal well on the good old popcorn ceiling (another sin), though.
