Hello from Toronto: Question about Z-wave Dimmer Switches

[JDRoberts]

Sorry–my house is 60 years old, we don’t even have overhead fixtures in all the rooms! I don’t know anything about pot lights.

Hopefully someone with experience will answer.

Meanwhile, here are a couple more topics to check:

Lighting Recommendations - 4 6in Recessed Lights.... Low Watt LED?

Hello everyone! Had an electrician put lighting into my media room (was the Den). He put in 4 pot lights (6 in) at 18in from the wall. We purchased the 65W equivalent LED Recessed Light Kits (retrofit) at 3000k white. With only 1 installed, found them way too bright. at “11 watts” I feel I need 4-6 Watt. I did order one of the new GE dimmable’s that work with all lighting types… so here comes my question. What are people doing in equivalent situations? I see Cree has a 40W equivalent , and I (believe) I can get the Satin Nickel Matte Baffle Trim which gives me the same look, at least 25W equivalent softer… Though I was hoping to try and find a roughly 30W equivalent… Does anyone have suggestions? Am I thinking about this properly? I will admit, the Nickel trim looked amazing, and I look…

Advice for Dimmer Switch and LED Bulbs selection

Hey guys, I am thinking of replace all the BR30 bulbs to be dimmable with zwave dimmer switches. I have 4 in living room, 4 in kitchen, 4 in dining room, and 4 in my office. I plan to buy Linear-WD500Z-1 dimmer switch: My questions are: Should I buy four Linear-WD500Z-1 switches for the four rooms? Any master or slave consideration? Must I buy z-wave zigbee bulbs or any dimmable bulbs will work? Cree and GE bulbs are great, but too expensive now. $15 EACH normal bulb in Homedepot! I saw the LED BR30 dimmable bulbs in Costco is much cheaper. If I can control the switch from ST to dim the bulbs from Costco, that will save lots of money!! Thanks so much for any suggestion!
