How Do I Soften Recessed Lighting?

WhiteDims are the perfect solution to dim/soften overhead indoor ceiling lights or outdoor lights without making the room to dark. If the lights are still too bright simply add another layer of White Dims. White Dims LightDims diffuse / soften harsh LED light and blend well with White Electronics.

Recessed lighting trims will often include a “diffuser”, which is a translucent pane of plastic or glass that goes over the center of the housing. These diffusers can radically change the quality of light that is produced from your recessed lighting. Diffusers soften the light that comes from recessed lighting.
