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…

Video | TV Backlight Kit

A TV Backlight from Inspired LED can reduce eye strain by providing bias lighting in the form of easy to install adhesive backed LED Light Strip. 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…

Video | How To Reduce Glare on Granite Counters

Here at Inspired LED we occasionally get phone calls about lighting glare on granite and similar surfaces. For now, we’ll call it the Dot Effect.

Here we will discuss how you can eliminate this effect while keeping the same amount of light underneath your cabinets. First, if you have cabinets with frames, use a tool such as the oscillating multi-tool saw attachment to cut about a quarter to a ½ inch notch.…
