When Dimming is a Brite Idea
We have mentioned these lights before, but we wanted to share a little bit more about the dimming feature and why a dimmable light is attractive for outdoor lighting.
Wellbrite recommends and utilizes Ecolink’s landscape lights (www.discoverecolink.com/led) for the ease of installation, the quality of the light, and the cost that is less than comparable lights on the market.
Specifications:
-Finish is a durable powder coated, anodized aluminum alloy. This gives improved durability, even near coastlines.
-Each light can be independently tuned with a magnet providing the right light intensity where you need it. There is no need to open the light to dim or brighten (tune) the light.
-Accent light comes with two drop in lenses to convert the standard 33 degree beam to either a 60 degree flood or a 16 degree spot.
-Uses the latest technology to get the brightness of a 35W bulb, but only consumes 10W of power.
Why a Dimmable Light?:
The energy benefits of LED lights are evident. But why a dimmable LED light? The answer: Some landscape elements look better under different light tones.
A customer needed less light on an olive tree because the bark was more reflective than other trees in the area. The light can be dimmed on the spot to make the proper intensity.
As the landscape matures it is also important to have lighting flexibility. As your landscape changes you can retune the intensity or simply drop in a new lens instead of replacing the fixture.
You can also see how the dimming feature works in Ecolink’s YouTube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgzus5gxM9I
