Where dimming earns its keep

Over a dining table, where the
difference between a working light and a dinner light is the whole mood of the
meal. In a bedroom, where full brightness at bedtime undoes an hour of winding
down. In a kitchen, where you want everything visible while you cook and almost
nothing on when you come down for water. And in an open-plan main floor, where
one setting rarely suits the kitchen, the sofa and the table all at once.

Check the dimmer, not just the
light

This is the part that catches
people out. A dimmable LED fixture still needs a dimmer switch designed for LED
loads. An older dimmer built for incandescent bulbs will often work — but it
can also flicker, buzz, or refuse to go all the way down, and none of that
means the fixture is faulty. If you are replacing a fixture and keeping the
switch that was already on the wall, it is worth checking what that switch
actually is before you blame the light.

LED, and a 5-year warranty

Everything in this collection is
LED, so dimming does not shorten bulb life the way it once did with halogen.
