Great lights. 5000k is too blue, 4000k is good for stage.

At first I thought I was getting 5000k because I love white things, but I was wrong. 5000k was too blue. After receiving 4000,000 I was very happy. Incandescent lamp for comparison. When I want to be comfortable I turn off the recessed lights, but when I want to work the recessed lights are perfect. First, they are really easy to install. It is entirely possible to connect them together if the Romex enters one connector, the Romex exits the other connector and connects to the light using the wire nuts provided. It's a little tight in the box, but it works. Once connected and the box stowed away, it was easy to use the supplied template to cut a hole in the drywall, although I would suggest cutting on the outside of the line rather than the inside. It was pretty tight when I did it. With the hole cut, find the box (I hope you measured everything and marked the right spots when you did the drywall and paint) and plug the light into the connector, then bend the springs and slide it into that Hole. . The springs are very strong and there is no problem with the light fitting snugly against the wall (I used 5/8" drywall). The string lights work great with my Leviton Decora Smart Wi-Fi 600W Dimmer. Most of the time I hold up the brightness is usually at about 30% all the way to 100% is quite intense although I may have gotten too narrow (about 6ft between all the lights) from a transformer or a capacitor that switches the voltage but these things are totally silent. Inspection was easy. For a rough check I ran and stapled all the wire with uncut loops where the lights should be and pocketed a practice box of spare wire to show the inspector. He was interested in these gauzy headlights, because he had never seen them before but was satisfied.Then for the final check he didn't look at the final wiring just made sure the dimmer was working functioned correctly.
