▾
The HR-3LED-T118F9W-BN LED 3" Open Round Trim is designed for a 3-inch (approximately 76 mm) recessed can opening. It matches the standard dimensions used in most commercial and residential ceiling grids, so no special adapters are required. The trim’s mounting holes align with the typical screw-type fasteners found in standard recessed housings.
Does the trim support dimming with standard dimmer switches?
▾
Yes, the HR-3LED trim is fully dimmable when paired with compatible LED dimmer switches. It works with most leading-edge and trailing-edge dimmers that support low-voltage LED loads. To achieve smooth dimming performance, select a dimmer rated for the trim’s wattage and follow the manufacturer’s wiring guidelines.
How does the LED output compare to traditional halogen trims?
▾
The LED output of the HR-3LED trim delivers comparable brightness to a 50-watt halogen fixture while consuming only about 6-8 watts of power. This results in roughly an 80% reduction in energy use, and the LEDs maintain their light output longer than halogen bulbs, which dim noticeably as they age.
