    LumenCache- Anyone using it?

    I'm about to sheetrock a new house and a friend suggested I yank the incandescent cans in the theater and use LumenCache. It's LED and runs on Cat 5. Anyone have any opinions? Ideally I'm looking for dimmable with as little ground loop hum as possible. TIA. Rob

    Koam, thank you very much for the detailed response. Much appreciated. So are you saying that there are wall switches that will allow you to dim and turn on/off without interfering with the app? In other words, you can turn it off on the wall and turn it back on through Siri? Do you...

    Home LED's similar to Nichia 219

    I notice the PWM on my rotary Niteye Eye10, and although I love the light, I would not want a house full of PWM LEDs. I never knew that all dimmable LEDs have PWM. Makes me want to reconsider. Thanks for the head's up!

    Thank you. Do you know the model numbers and the color temps of the ones you bought? Any humming, flicker, or delays? Thanks so much, Rob

    Home LED's similar to Nichia 219

    Sorry for my ignorance, but are those for home lighting? I'm thinking about bulbs like BR30, etc. Thanks for the quick response to my question!

    Home LED's similar to Nichia 219

    Hi All, I'm currently building a house and my builder asked me if I wanted LED's. I think I do, but I'm not sure which ones to get. I have a McGizmo and an HDS, both with Nichia 219's and like the tint a lot. Can anyone recommend a good home LED that would be similar? I would like at least...

    Thank you. I had to refrain from going off on a tirade and now my tongue is bleeding.

    Building a new home

    While I appreciate your advice (and I truly do) regarding lighting, I don't think it's fair for you to judgmentally say that "it's time to give back a little." You know nothing about me, what I do for a living, how many hours I work, the sacrifices I've made for others, how many poor people...

    Thanks for the really quick reply! I just checked out the website, and they look really nice. Can you tell me why you'd recommend them over other options? Isn't the CRI of >80 pretty low? Do I just use standard fixtures?

    Building a new home

    Hi All, I was the OP of this thread over 2 years ago. Without boring you with the details our house project was delayed for a while, but we're now getting close to being ready for electrical. My builder asked me if I wanted LED's and if so, which type. Since LED technology changes so...

    Building a new home

    Hi. I'm building a new home in Southlake, TX. One of my friends told me to consider LED's throughout the house. Others say you won't get your money out of the due to the increased cost of the bulbs. I'm sure the first question needed to answer this appropriately is for how long will we live...

    Review of Charger Xtar XP4

    I see. So there's obviously not a general rule that will allow you to calculate the ideal charge current based on the capacity. Bummer. Looking forward to your review :)
