ACCESSORIES FOR A CLEAN, SAFE INSTALL
Finish the details that make daily use feel easy. Pick the right light socket for your bulb base, the correct wall switch for your circuit, and a dimmer that matches your driver and lamps. This keeps rooms consistent in color, output, and control.
Sockets and bases: Common sizes include E26 for standard bulbs and E12 for candle shapes. GU10 and bi pin styles fit certain spots and small fixtures. If you are updating a pendant or island bar, compare shades and mounts in Pendant Lighting. For larger centerpieces, see Chandeliers.
Switch types: Choose single pole for one location control or three way when the same light needs two wall controls. In open plans, pair a main switch with a dimmer so you can move from bright prep to relaxed evenings. For broad ambient layers, review Ceiling Lights. To lift edges and reading zones, add Wall Lights.
Dimmer matching: Many LED fixtures can dim, but performance depends on the pairing. Match the dimmer to the driver type listed in the specs such as TRIAC, ELV, or zero to ten volt. Use one color temperature across connected spaces. Two thousand seven hundred to three thousand kelvin feels warm and relaxed. Three thousand five hundred kelvin reads a little cleaner.
Safety and ratings: Confirm load limits for each control and use damp or wet ratings where needed. Never place a standard light dimmer on a ceiling fan motor. Check box fill, wire gauge, and grounding so the system stays reliable.
Quick guidelines
- Compatibility first: match base type, voltage, and driver before checkout.
- Circuit plan: single pole for one location, three way for two locations.
- Flicker control: pair LEDs with tested dimmers and keep one color temperature.
- Finish plan: repeat one metal tone on plates and fixtures for a tidy look.
