Review on EcoSmart 27 White Integrated Recessed DL N34A11FR1 by Jeremy Gums

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works mostly with Caseta

I purchased a Lutron Caseta wireless dimming system and it was only after installing it that I realized how few bulbs are 'officially' compatible with it. I had a couple of mismatched LED bulbs that actually worked fine, but the unnamed LED bulbs that the electrician installed in my ceilings made a faint buzz when turned on, regardless of the dimming level. I consulted the Lutron website and settled on these "compatible" can lamps. As for the buzz, they solve the problem. They fit perfectly into the recessed luminaire without any problems. My only complaint is that they don't get super dark. The old, incompatible LEDs they replaced hum, but you can turn them down to a barely lit nighttime level. I would estimate these Ecosmarts would fade to about 1/3 of full power before just shutting down. This is a minor complaint though, and only an issue if you're a snob like me. They can also work well with other traditional dimmers. I wrote this review just in case there was another poor idiot like me who made 5 trips back and forth to the Home Depot to try and get his smart lights working.
