Review on πŸ’‘ Lithonia Lighting WF6 LED 27K: Brilliantly Efficient Illumination by Hector Smith

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I do not recommend. Weak hum, fade is not smooth, too orange for 2700K

Failed to load media. Those lights will return. I was forced to look for a low profile solution after opening the ceiling to find a duct meant to hold 2 lamps. I was looking for solutions and found these well tested lights there on Revain. I hoped that would save me. The first thing that was a problem was that the light required a much smaller opening than the old 6" can I was trying to install. PIA replaced the drywall around the hole, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I *think* these headlights would fit in a standard 5 inch hole the size of an old tin can. I installed 6 of these on the ceiling of my room along with a quality Leviton Z-Wave dimmer. I have installed LED lights throughout my house with this dimmer and did not expect any problems. Now for problems. 1) The first time the lights flashed a few times when brought to 100%. I would say 1 flicker is about 50% and 1 flash flicker is about 80%. Once the light reached 100%, there was no more flickering. When I turn them off, they smooth out nicely. When I set the dimmer to different levels, most stay on with no problem. However, they flicker constantly about 75% of the time. 2) At 100% there is a slight hum from the headlights. Not sure if it's just 1 or all, but the hum was noticeable. 3) The color is too orange. I'm used to buying 2700K bulbs and prefer warm colors. However, they are more orange than other brands with a rating of 2700,000. I expect 2700K to be in the yellow spectrum, but they go all the way to orange. That's enough to be a problem for me. I have already ordered another brand to replace it. I will update my review if I find anything else to recommend.
