I hope they will reconsider, and will offer instead a 3000°K product, or a hybrid where LED phosphors are of a sampling of colors, For now the block over the diodes will interfere with some found lighting junction boxes, where most boxes unfortunately, and perhaps needlessly, include posts for 2 3/4" oc light fixtures. Home Depot is again offering only one color temperature, this time 2700°K. In this, again exclude beam focusing in a cone. "LED downlight" may gain acceptance as the alternative for best-efficiency luminaires.

The phrase is securely related to license plate illumination. And, editing this post at, admit giving up on "LED plate light" as wordcraft. Let us reserve the label plate LED, for presentation with negligible diffuser angle. This post will present portions of a Picasa Web Albums review of Home Depot's new T67 LED Disk Light, Manufactured by CREE, and packaged as Commercial Electric. ("New" was December, 2012, very long ago in the evolution of LED lighting.) Manufacturers and their big-box outlets which don't respond as LED technology rapidly advances, deserve no sales. The Sylvania 70732, very nicely priced at Lowe's, has a major improvement in July 2014, now behaving as perfectly on a dimmer as the Nicor DLS. At, add this: Another good option is Sylvania 70732 . Nicor DLS behaves perfectly on any dimmer and has other advantages. Instead buy Nicor DLS10 in online purchase. A reporter is needed when products are discontinued without explanation, as with wonderful and not-glaring Nicor DLS10. For T67, or for T47, n othing on new packaging or at, informs the buyer of changes made.

Obligation to be a responsible observer is negated by manufacturer action to offer improvements, and sometimes a degraded product, with no announcement. I ponder my role as a self-appointed reporter. I measure identical 11 watts draw for T67 and T47, as it should be, and in conflict with new T47 package claim of 9 watts.

As measured with my Kill-A-Watt meter, T67 power draw at full brightness is reduced by improvements, from 12.5 watts, to 11 watts, as claimed on the package. Diode luminance is reduced, which should make lights more pleasant in ones' gaze. The five tightly-placed diodes, identical in T67 and T47, are increased in size, from 3 mm square, to 5 mm square. Improvements include elimination of buzzing with placement in a dimmer circuit, better efficiency in diodes no longer recessed, surely larger beam angle. Better T67 and T47 LED disk lights have been in Home Depot stores for at least one month.

Fold the wires into the switch box and use your screwdriver to install the dimmer and cover plate.At, retract the warning below. Then connect the remaining two wires, the order doesn’t matter. If it’s a 3-way circuit, connect the wire that you labeled “common” to the common wire on the dimmer. If it’s a single pole circuit, the order of the wires usually doesn’t matter. Strip the insulation on all the wires about 3/4 of an inch. If it’s a 3-way switch, label the wire that is connected to the “common” screw (usually a black screw) before removing the wire. Remove the wires connected to the switch. Remove the old switch and use your live wire tester to be sure the power is off. Here’s a summary of the steps to install a dimmer:

I recommend watching the video first so that you are familiar with the overall process, and then refer to the steps listed below it as needed. I’ve listed the steps below, and included a video by the Home Depot that walks you through the process. Once you have your new dimmer and tools, this project should take 20-minutes or less depending on your level of experience.

Some dimmers are universal and will work for both single-pole and three-way circuits, but read the packaging to be sure. When purchasing your new dimmer switch, you’ll need to know whether the lighting circuit is a single-pole (lights controlled from one location) or a three-way (lights controlled from two locations).
