Review on πŸ”† Brilliant Illumination: Lithonia Lighting WF3 LED 30K – Transform Your Space with Energy-Efficient Lighting by Aida Plata

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great versatility but issues with buzz and low CRI

Overall we are happy with the purchase so far but I would rate it between a 3 and 4 due to some limitations and issues. Good: The form factor is perfectly suited for trying out proposed lighting locations in new construction and for installation in new areas of existing development - lumens are good with a wide light distribution. Because the LEDs are on the outer edge, they don't have the problem of downward-facing LEDs like some threaded models. No cans means no rumble from people walking on the floors above and that means you can install it. almost everywhere. For example, this fixes an issue where the builder installed the lights off-center in the hallway due to plumbing and wiring. Only the lutron ELV dimmer versions reduce it to an almost inaudible point, but they're absurdly expensive. CRI is only 80+. While we haven't yet spotted any colors that don't appear right, it's disappointing that they don't have 90+ at the moment. The cable from the box to the light should be 6-12 inches longer for easier placement. It's great that extensions are available for additional placement options, but the standard length can cause some issues when placing new designs.

Pros
  • SUPER BRIGHT DIMMABLE LEDs consume 8W to deliver 550 lumens with a CRI of 80, nearly 70 lumens per watt. Up to 10% dimming and compatible with select Lutron, Levitron, Synergy and Sensor Switch dimmers
Cons
  • No form required
