[Greenbuilding] lighting

You also would have the opportunity to design the best for low light and the bright light situations, instead of a compromise for each.

the latter--based on the assumption that dimmers consume some measurable current...

Which one is more efficient? The dimming setup or the separate fixture/switch setup?

That is a good idea. I think that once you factor in the extra material and labor it would be the same cost though.

Many times the need for dimmable is really two or maybe three light levels. Perhaps you could install a low light level fixture arraignment and a bright one alongside it of LEDs or T5s on separate switches.

Hello,
My company is building an interior living wall in a low light area.
I need to light the span - about 40 feet long - and they need to be dimmable.
I'm having a hard time finding affordable T5 dimmable lights. They are about $135 each.
I can't find LED that meet the criteria.
Any suggestions?
