But often, when dealing with a high-end application, such as a new business or home remodel, customers prefer to have the sleek, seamless control of a standard wall switch or dimmer. This is where the benefits of a hardwired dimmable transformer come into play. While a switched outlet will allow your LED lights to be turned on and off using a standard plug-in system, or dimmed using an in-line switch, it is the hardwire…

Video | Flexible Strips & Tiger Paw Connectors

Cut and Connect Kits in Ultra Bright, Super Bright, and Ultra Bright. Available in 12 meter or 3 meter lengths

This video explains how to connect flexible strips to our Tiger Paw Connectors. For this project you’re going to need LED flex strips, your connector and a power supply. The video demonstration uses a 3.5-millimeter connector, but Inspired LED also makes them available in 5.5 millimeter. When you’re cutting your flex strip, make sure that you don’t cut through any of the solder. If you cut through the solder, it’s not going to fit into the connector. So go a few LED lights up and cut through the copper colored positive and negative. Next, peel the end of the tape…

Video | LED Recessed Lighting- Feit Electric

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17ON15-c6wA Many Inspired LED customers have can lighting in their homes and have been asking us for an LED replacement. We believe Feit Electric has come up with an amazing solution – the dimmable BR30 LED bulb. We installed two Feit LED bulbs on the right and two standard incandescent bulbs on the left. The Feit LED bulbs have a very slight delay when switched on and off. As you can see, neither dims all the way down to zero, but we like it this way since our dimmer has an on and off switch as well. It’s incredibly bright…

Bias lighting serves to moderate or bias the range of motion in the iris muscles in the eye, which limits the size of the pupil. The frequent and sometimes dramatic variation in picture brightness from scene to scene in video programs can cause eyestrain and fatigue in an otherwise dark display environment. Our TV Backlight will provide enough light for your eyes to get their color reference, and you’ll find that pictures seem a…
