I plan to use the fixture with incandescent lighting on a Chalk Talk board. Idea is to turn down incandescent and up black light. Ideas?

I think that would work if you were to use fluorescent chalk on the blackboard then it could work.

As of this writing, I have only used it with incandescent bulbs. Sorry, can't help.

make sure you turn down the dimmer level located on the front of the metal box - I didn't notice this at first but there is a dial that can be shifted from "-" to "+" Once I turned it down, I discovered my LED lights dimmed down to almost nothing, which was my goal.

I suppose you could take something like a margarine tub lid and cut a hole for the knob and tape that over the light. That area does not get too hot but the tape would have to be carefully applied so as not to interfere with cleaning. You could also turn the unit around so that the light faces the wall.

The min/max wattage comment (by Scott) is spot on. My fixture had 3 dimmable LEDs and I had flickering. I swapped out one LED bulb for an incandescent to get above the min wattage. All flickering is gone. dimming works as expected.

No, these markers won't wrk on the black light. These do wrk on the electrical lighted board.

Try a small piece of scotch tape, layer if needed. The tape will diffuse some of the light.

The light is a harsh blueish white. The fixture is made specifically for use with a LED bulb so unless you can find an LED with a "soft" light, it may not meet your needs. HTH

I originally was going to install it with the lights down but the electrician said that it will look better with the lights facing up. Even with the lights up, because you can use incadescent bulbs, there is plenty of light. Hope this helps.

The room has to be very dark. No lights outside lights should be no problem if you use a translucent curtain or shade. The light needs to be facing the shade so it can iliuminate the shade. Timer is ok if you leave the switch in the always in position.

I'm using it for ceiling light, which is over a dining table. We watch internet drama and youtubes often on the computer in the same room. So, the room is regularly not quiet, and we never noticed the noize. Is your noizy one right spec for your fixture/bulbs? (may not be right answer, but I wrote for your reference)

I used speaker wire light gets dimmer after halfway unless you attach wires to opposite end. But still bright enough to hurt yoir eyes if you stare at it.

What kind of lights are you using? I had this issue with LED lights... adding an incandescent light in the string took care of the problem for me.

Don't know the technical details, but you won't have that problem with this one. You might even find it to be too much. I've read some people use light switch type dimmers to lower the power and I believe it.

There isn't a switch on mine. Possibly you could take it apart and pop out the bulb. If you are like me and prefer a very dark bedroom, the amount of light from this would be annoying.

If it is a single bulb fixture you may want to use the 9 or 12 watt version for a brighter hallway. Use the warm white not the cool white.

If you use a small screw driver you may be able to lighty lift up the center contact to allow the bulb to connect in the direction you need. Do this only with the POWER OFF to the fixture. It worked for me.
