Three Reasons Our SL04 Mini Flood Light Shines
From our archive (2017). For current specs, see the SL04 Mini Flood Light product page.
If you haven't already added the SL04 Mini Flood Light to your design repertoire, we think you should. Here are three reasons we know you'll love using the SL04 just as much as we do. Some of our reasons may surprise you!
1. The not-so-standard flood light
Even though it might look like a standard mini flood, it's anything but standard. With a wide beam spread and five adjustable lumen settings, it just goes to show that not all lights are created equal. This mini monster of a light is a prime example. (Today's SL04 offers a 128° field angle and settings from 133 to 464 lumens.)
2. Brighten dormers and gables with ease
Second and third stories on homes can be challenging to illuminate. Larger luminaires with more output are heavy and unsightly, while lighter, smaller ones lack the output. But the power behind the SL04 means it only takes a few to light a large space all at once. Its compact size and weight mean mounting it won't be a chore, so mount it on the roof, in the gutter or above a portico, and watch it shine!
3. A path light in disguise
The SL04 is amazing at highlighting vertical surfaces. But pair it with a brass extension stem, and it transforms into a single-direction pathway light! Who knew it could be so versatile!
Do you have a creative way you've used one of our luminaires? We'd love to hear about it! For the full story behind the SL04, read Pat's SL04 post.
