DIY Installation of Dimmable Downlights in the Living Room

The Problem

The existing lighting had the following issues:

• No dimming: The indoor brightness could not be adjusted to match the light outside
• Too few light sources: With only two light sources, shadows formed easily

Products Used

We reused some that were left over from another location.

Living Room

With dimming, the brightness can be set just right whether you are in work mode or relaxing in the evening.

We also added two lighting tracks so that accent lights can be added wherever needed.
