▾
It delivers a focused, forward-facing beam that is ideal for accent lighting, generally providing a narrow spread that highlights specific areas without excessive spill.

Does the R3BSA-FWD-WT LED Trim support dimming?
▾

To achieve dimming, ensure the driver and control gear are rated for LED loads and follow the manufacturer’s wiring guidelines. Improper dimmer selection may cause flicker.
How is the R3BSA-FWD-WT LED Trim installed?
