    About Brightness and Light Appearance
    industrial info icon

    Find the right lumen level to brighten your space. Then, compare the way warm, neutral, and cool lighting affect the appearance of everyday objects.

    Ceiling and Wall Strip Lights

    Wire these lights end-to-end to create long rows that brighten indoor workspaces such as offices and workshops. To connect them, remove the lens and knockouts on each light, then feed the included wires with push-in connectors through the knockouts—no complex wiring needed. A frosted lens evenly disperses light and reduces some glare. Use the external switch to adjust brightness and choose between neutral and cool light.
    Mount these lights to your ceiling or wall with the included hardware. A bracket connects the ends to keep the row in a straight line. To suspend them, hang them from chain (not included) with the included V-hooks.
    Add either of the controllers (both sold separately) to sync multiple of these lights together. They form a secure Bluetooth network when you place any two controllers within 100 ft. of each other. Use the free app on your smartphone or tablet to program when lights turn on and off and how they respond to sensors. Controllers with a motion and light sensor automatically adjust lighting based on occupancy and natural light.

    Imported—Imported lights are UL listed to withstand humidity and moisture in damp locations.
    United States Origin—Lights of US origin can connect to an emergency backup battery (sold separately) to keep lights shining for at least 90 minutes if the power goes out.
    Emergency Backup Batteries—For many batteries, recycling or other proper disposal is required by law. Do not dispose of batteries in the trash. For recycling drop-off locations visit www.batterynetwork.org/locator or call 1-877-2-RECYCLE.

    Create ambient and accent lighting with these sleek, modern lights that shine above, below, and around themselves. With a color rendering index (CRI) of 90, these lights make colors look natural and vibrant. Their lens is smooth and frosted to evenly disperse light. All are dimmable. ETL listed for use in damp locations, these lights withstand humidity and moisture.
    You can adjust their brightness and light appearance.
    Warm—Warm light highlights yellow tones similar to incandescent bulbs.
    Neutral—Neutral light is often used in offices.
    Cool—Cool light highlights white and blue tones for high visibility.
    Styles A and B—Styles A and B are often used in restrooms and above mirrors. They’re also known as vanity lights.
    Style C—Style C are our brightest option—they’re often used in stairwells and hallways. Unlike other styles, you can adjust how much light they send upward. They’re DLC (DesignLight Consortium) listed, so they’ve been tested to confirm their energy efficiency.

    Also known as sconces, these lights are a stylish choice for ambient and accent lighting in hallways and entryways. They’re UL or ETL listed for wet locations, so you can install them outdoors—rain and humidity won’t be a problem. And thanks to their sensor, you can set them to turn on at dusk and off at dawn. All can send light in multiple directions. Sending light upward makes your space feel larger. Adjust the light appearance and brightness with the switch on the power supply.
    Style A—Style A can focus all their light up or down, or send half their light in both directions. To achieve the lighting effect you want, adjust the beam width. Rated IP65, these lights are sealed against low-pressure washdowns.
    Style B—Style B send light up and down.
    Style C—Style C have two light heads you can twist separately to send light up, down, forward, or against the wall.

    Lights

    Install these lights flush with your ceiling for a smooth look and even lighting. They offer the appearance of can lights without the bulky housing. Held in place by springs, they mount directly into ceiling cutouts in hallways, bathrooms, and rooms with low ceilings. These lights are IC rated to safely dissipate heat, so you can mount them directly against insulation. They’re also ETL listed for wet locations. Use the switch to match the light appearance that matches the other lights in your room.

    Solar Flagpole Lights

    Illuminate outdoor flags without connecting to an electric power source. These lights have a built-in solar panel that gathers energy from the sun throughout the day to power them at night. Because you don’t need to wire these lights to a standard energy source, you can use them with flagpoles located in the most remote areas of your property. These lights mount on top of your flagpole between the pulley and the ball ornament to illuminate your flag from above. A sensor turns them on automatically at night—no need to remember to switch them on manually.

    Recessed-Mount Can Lights

    Install these lights into ceiling cutouts with housings for direct, overhead lighting. They’re often used in indoor spaces such as offices and lobbies, and as decorative lighting. UL or ETL listed for use in damp locations, these lights are sealed to withstand humidity and moisture. With a color rendering index (CRI) of 90, they make colors look natural and vibrant. The lights have an external switch to select warm, neutral, or cool light.
    Housings and lights connect together with quick-disconnect terminals. The lights come with tension springs to hold them inside the housing. If you already have housings with a screw-in base, the lights also include an adapter for that connection.

    Guide pedestrians and drivers at night with lighting that defines paths and driveways. These lights produce ambient illumination without the glare of overhead lights. To prevent dark spots, space them no more than 20 ft. apart. Select from three brightness levels and a warm, neutral, or cool light appearance. Rated IP65, these lights are sealed to block out dust and moisture, such as from sprinklers and weather.
    You’ll need to run power underground to these lights. To make sure they’re secure, install the included anchor bolts into fresh concrete or 3/8" dia. concrete wedge anchors (not included) into existing concrete.
