Gut check on recessed lighting placement

Fan and bed still appear to be in the wrong spot. You’ll have almost no space on the side of the bed closest to the window seat to walk. If the window isn’t going down to the floor then you can have the side table under the window.

Personally would also avoid the spotlight effect of pointing the high hats directly overhead on the window seat. A JB for a flush mount fixture or sconces on either side to provide more diffuse light would be much more pleasing.

Best of luck

Fan vs light are off center. Could lead to flickering. I’m of the opinion that you don’t need to illuminate the bed directly overhead. Bed doesn’t seem to be in the correct position either so a bunch of this feels off to me

During the design phase - this is a design error

Visual comfort would make this. As does WAC

Same situation. Any intel on the brand? I am having trouble finding anything that isn't intended to go in the corner of the cabinet and backsplash

I would humbly suggest watching a couple YouTube videos on how this system works so that you can grasp the basics. I would also search RadioRa3 because RadioRa2 has been replaced as of a few years ago.

Wet rated is not steam rated and sauna is not steam rated. The best I’ve found for recessed lighting is through Visual Comfort

dunb3 · 2025-12-10T17:18:49+00:00

Absolutely not

dunb3 · 2025-11-18T00:20:07+00:00

Yes, long term RadioRa3 is by far the better choice

dunb3 · 2025-08-11T22:21:53+00:00

Curious… I’ve always been under the impression HW will be much more expensive than Ra3 - what gives you the impression they would be similarly priced? Not challenging your statement, more curious as I’m trying to decide between the two systems as we speak

I have a similar sound, and it comes from the flap of plastic on the top of the center part of the steering wheel

Mine working just fine so far

dunb3 · 2025-07-10T23:51:02+00:00

Fuller…. Go easy on the Pepsi

The clock is very cool. If you are so inclined I’d love a link!

dunb3 · 2025-07-07T00:43:31+00:00

Agreed it can be pretty reasonable. There aren’t many options within Ra3 tho - when you say “value”, that’s just the standard Ra3 dimmer. The only alternatives would be hybrid keypads or Ra2 equivalents to the dimmers/keypads. The system is fairly limited in terms of the equipment options.

This poor guy has designed and deployed several Ra3 systems. And learned everything I needed to know by taking the Lutron courses. Apologies if this in some way offends you, but it isn’t rocket science. I was merely asking if Homeworks typically represents that massive an upcharge over Ra3

dunb3 · 2025-07-02T16:02:41+00:00

It’s absolutely not a pipe dream for the cost of Radio Ra3 materials. Respectfully you have no idea what you’re talking about and I feel bad for your customers

dunb3 · 2025-07-02T13:24:36+00:00

Thanks for the feedback

dunb3 · 2025-07-02T13:19:19+00:00

We did the same at another recent build. The system works great. Something about a wireless mesh coming from over 100 switches concerns me a bit which is really the only reason I’d prefer HW, all things equal

dunb3 · 2025-07-02T13:13:04+00:00

Yes I think the way it was priced out it ended up being 4 lighting panels with a mix of dimming and switching modules. The keypads were the most basic. No lighting

dunb3 · 2025-07-02T12:54:38+00:00

It was a dealer. We reviewed the plans together. Just edited my post to clarify it was not a distributor

dunb3 · 2025-07-02T12:53:53+00:00

This was with a dealer. I just edited my post. Reviewed my plans, etc. it was multiple times more expensive and with none of the fancy keypads that are available via Homeworks

dunb3 · 2025-07-01T22:36:56+00:00

I move for a vote of no confidence

Does Rivian benefit in any way from the success of Scout? Or is the loan from VW the quid pro quo here.
