In product news, WAC Lighting adds dimming and warmth technology to Aether Atomic’s compact recessed light fixtures. The color temperature ranges from 3000K to 1800K, making it suitable for a variety of applications and spaces. According to WAC Lighting, by mimicking the dim appearance of incandescent lights, the fixture can vary color temperature to create a visually pleasing and inherently familiar experience, while offering the energy savings of LEDs. It is said to be able to achieve up to 900 lumens at maximum brightness while benefiting from a long lifespan.
