- Power rating reflects maximum wattage of bulbs connected.
- LED highly recommended. While compact fluorescent bulbs will work to some degree, we recommend them only for the dimmer channel.
- Many competitors use a lower cost burst technology. FireFly uses true phase dimming for a much more realistic effect.
- 3-Year limited no-fault warranty. Check owner's manual or ask for details.
- We provide an excellent upgrade path. Please check website or call for current offer.
- FireFly is proudly designed, engineered and manufactured in the United States by Lights Alive
