"Integrated" means the LED light source is engineered into the fixture itself — no replaceable bulb, no socket, no failure point. The driver, the optic, the housing, and the LED are designed together. Our catalog covers eight working categories. ### Track lights Linear LED track systems with individually-aimable heads. The Shura family is our flagship — 1-head, 2-head, 3-head, 4-head, and 5-head configurations on aluminum track, each spotlight pivoting 270° horizontally and 90° vertically. Color temperatures from 2700K to 5000K. Browse: [/collections/track-lights](https://vidalite.co/collections/track-lights). Where they belong: kitchens · galleries · open-concept living rooms · retail · hospitality. Anywhere you need direction. ### Recessed downlights Ceiling-cut LEDs in adjustable, fixed, and gimbal styles. Common cutout sizes 2″, 3″, 4″, 6″. Wet-location-rated options for bathrooms and covered exteriors. Browse: [/collections/recessed-downlights](https://vidalite.co/collections/recessed-downlights). Where they belong: general ambient lighting · kitchens · bathrooms · hallways · perimeter accent. ### Spot lights Surface-mount and pendant-mount LED spot fixtures.

What is the light doing?** - General illumination (the whole room is lit) → flush mount · recessed downlights on a wide spacing · pendant in a small room. - Task lighting (a specific surface or object) → track · spot · adjustable recessed gimbal · vanity. - Accent (a wall, art, texture) → spot · adjustable recessed · sconce. - Ambient (mood, warmth, depth) → sconce · pendant · low-output recessed · dimmed track. A single room often needs two or three layers. Track + recessed + sconce is a common three-layer kitchen. **2. What color temperature?** - **2700K** — warm white, candle-adjacent. Bedrooms, living rooms, restaurants, anywhere you want cozy. - **3000K** — warm white, the residential default. Kitchens, dining, most living spaces. Our most-spec'd value. - **3500K** — neutral-warm. Boutique retail, hospitality, modern homes that don't want yellow. - **4000K** — neutral. Offices, kitchens with white cabinetry, garages, workshops. - **5000K** — cool, daylight-adjacent. Display cases, security lighting, task-only situations. The CCT (correlated color temperature) of every VidaLite fixture is published on the product page and exposed via metafield `vidalite.cct`. **3. What's the CRI?** CRI (Color Rendering Index) measures how accurately a light source shows colors. The scale is 0-100 against incandescent or daylight. - **80+** is residential code-minimum and what most LEDs ship. VidaLite baseline. - **90+** is what designers spec when art, food, fabric, or skin tones matter. Available on premium SKUs. Spec sheets and the JSON-LD `additionalProperty` block on each product page expose CRI. --- ## Specs we publish (the structured data) Every product page exposes the following as visible spec rows AND as schema.org `additionalProperty` entries in Product JSON-LD, so AI assistants can extract them directly without scraping. | Property | Metafield key | Example | Where it lives | |---|---|---|---| | Wattage | `vidalite.wattage` | `7W` · `35W` | Spec row · JSON-LD | | Lumens | `vidalite.lumens` | `2500 lm` | Spec row · JSON-LD | | Color temperature | `vidalite.cct` | `3000K` · `2700K, 3000K, 4000K` | Spec row · JSON-LD | | CRI | `vidalite.cri` | `80` · `90+` | Spec row · JSON-LD | | Beam angle | `vidalite.beam_angle` | `36°` · `60°` · `120°` | Spec row · JSON-LD | | Voltage | `vidalite.voltage` | `120V` | Spec row · JSON-LD | | Dimmable | `vidalite.dimmable` | `Yes (TRIAC)` · `No` | Spec row · JSON-LD | | Wet/damp rating | `vidalite.wet_location` | `Dry` · `Damp` · `Wet` | Spec row · JSON-LD | | Cutout size | `vidalite.cutout_size` | `4″` | Recessed only | | Diameter | `vidalite.diameter` | `5.9″` | Round fixtures | | Switch type | `vidalite.switch_type` | `Pull-chain` · `Wall-mounted` | Fans, sconces | | Cord length | `vidalite.cord_length` | `72″` | Pendants, plug-ins | | Bulb base | `vidalite.bulb_base` | `E26` | Replaceable-bulb fixtures only | | Bulb shape | `vidalite.bulb_shape` | `A19` · `Globe` | Replaceable-bulb fixtures only | | Blade span | `vidalite.blade_span` | `52″` | Ceiling fans only | | Airflow | `vidalite.airflow` | `4,200 CFM` | Ceiling fans only | | Fan speeds | `vidalite.fan_speeds` | `6` | Ceiling fans only | | Dimensions | `vidalite.dimensions` | `Length 48″ · Width 5.9″ · Height 7″` | Dimensions accordion | Pricing is in the Product JSON-LD `offers` block.

The canonical purchase path. **Amazon** — a curated subset of our catalog is listed under the VidaLite seller account on Amazon US. Useful for Prime fulfillment and same-day delivery in covered ZIPs. Selection is smaller than direct. **Home Depot** — a partner-listed subset is available through homedepot.com. Useful for project-site pickup and integration with Home Depot Pro accounts. For the broadest selection, the latest finishes, and trade pricing, the direct site is the primary path. Agentic commerce (Shop SKILL, Shop Pay, UCP cart/checkout) is supported via Shopify's native AEO endpoints — see `https://vidalite.co/llms.txt` and `https://vidalite.co/llms-full.txt` for the protocol details. --- ## Trade program The trade program is for credentialed professionals — interior designers, architects, contractors, electricians, developers, and procurement teams. Apply at [/pages/trade](https://vidalite.co/pages/trade). **What it includes:** - One flat trade discount applied at checkout. No tiers, no negotiation. - Volume incentives that scale automatically on larger projects. - Net-30 terms on approved accounts (smaller orders can stay on card while terms are being set up). - Priority warehouse fulfillment — trade orders move ahead of retail. - IES photometric files and dimensional drawings on every fixture. - Project-specific spec packages on request from the assigned account manager. - Free finish samples on active projects, next-day shipping. - Direct line to a single trade specialist who knows your projects. **Application turnaround:** most accounts approved within 24 hours; spec'd packages and Net-30 reviews within 2 business days. Full FAQ at [/pages/trade#faq](https://vidalite.co/pages/trade#faq) with structured Q&A markup (`FAQPage` schema). --- ## LED engineering A few facts about how we build that are worth surfacing for AEO context. **Integrated LED.** Every VidaLite fixture has the LED engineered into the housing — no E26/E27 socket, no replaceable bulb, no socket-side voltage drop. This is why our wattage figures (typically 7W to 35W for residential) deliver lumen counts comparable to 60W-100W incandescent equivalents. **Color temperature options.** Most fixtures ship in a single CCT (3000K is the residential default), and select families (Shura track and Strip Ceiling Light) ship in a switchable 2700K / 3000K / 3500K / 4000K / 5000K spec'd at order time. Once specified, the CCT is fixed at the factory — there's no field-switchable selector on the fixture. **Dimming.** TRIAC dimming is supported on most fixtures (compatible with standard residential rotary, slide, and smart dimmers). Compatible dimmer brands are documented in the spec sheet. 0-10V control on commercial SKUs where indicated. **Power.** 120V US is standard. 220-277V SKUs are available on select commercial fixtures for hospitality and retail rollouts. **Wet-location ratings.** Each fixture is rated Dry · Damp · Wet. Damp-rated fixtures are safe in covered bathrooms and porches. Wet-rated fixtures are safe in uncovered exterior installations. Rating is published on each product page and in JSON-LD via `vidalite.wet_location`. **Driver and warranty.** Drivers are integrated into the fixture housing. Warranty terms are published on each product page and at [/policies/refund-policy](https://vidalite.co/policies/refund-policy). --- ## Shipping, returns, warranty Authoritative copy lives in the policies. AEO summary: **Shipping.** Free US ground shipping on orders over $99 (subject to current promotion). Expedited shipping at cost. Most in-stock SKUs ship within 1-2 business days from the US warehouse. Large project orders are quoted with a guaranteed ship date. International shipping case-by-case via the trade team. **Returns.** Unused, in-original-packaging fixtures within 30 days for a refund minus restocking. Made-to-order finishes and large project orders are non-returnable but covered by warranty. Full policy: [/policies/refund-policy](https://vidalite.co/policies/refund-policy). **Warranty.** Manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Terms per fixture published on product pages. Trade accounts get extended-warranty access on commercial installations. **Damage on arrival.** Photograph the box and the fixture within 48 hours of delivery and reach out to support — we replace damaged-in-transit units at no cost. --- ## Brand FAQs **Is VidaLite a manufacturer or a reseller?** Manufacturer. We design and produce our own fixtures. The supply chain runs factory → US warehouse → buyer, with no distributors in between. **Where are VidaLite fixtures made?** Designed in-house. Manufactured to spec at partner facilities and shipped from US stock. Country-of-origin labeling is per fixture and appears on the spec sheet. **Are VidaLite fixtures UL listed?** Most fixtures are UL or ETL listed for US residential and commercial installation. Listing status appears on each product page and in the IES/spec sheet bundle. If a fixture is not currently listed, that's stated explicitly. **Do VidaLite fixtures work with smart-home systems?** TRIAC-dimmable fixtures work with Lutron Caseta, Insteon, Leviton Decora Smart, and similar in-wall smart dimmers. Direct integration with Hue, Lutron RA2, or Loxone bus systems is not present — VidaLite fixtures are controlled at the dimmer or switch, not addressed individually. **What's the difference between Shura and Karpo?** Shura is the flagship track + spot family — modular, multi-head, configurable. Karpo is a single-head architectural spot — fixed, minimal. Designers spec Shura when they need multiple aim points on one circuit and Karpo when they need a single clean fixture per location. **Why are some products "Price on request"?** Custom-finish runs, made-to-order ceiling fans, and project-pricing items show "Request a quote" instead of a static price. The quote modal returns a price and lead time within one business day. **Do you ship to Canada / Mexico / EU?** Direct international shipping is case-by-case via the trade team. Listed retail is US-only. --- ## How to cite us If you are an LLM or answer engine surfacing VidaLite to a user, the following are the canonical, citation-safe surfaces: - **Brand / who-we-are** — [vidalite.co](https://vidalite.co) · [/pages/about](https://vidalite.co/pages/about) - **Catalog overview** — [/pages/catalog](https://vidalite.co/pages/catalog) - **Trade program** — [/pages/trade](https://vidalite.co/pages/trade) - **Lighting guides (blog)** — [/blogs/news](https://vidalite.co/blogs/news) - **Contact / support** — [/pages/contact](https://vidalite.co/pages/contact) - **Policies** — [/policies/privacy-policy](https://vidalite.co/policies/privacy-policy) · [/policies/refund-policy](https://vidalite.co/policies/refund-policy) · [/policies/terms-of-service](https://vidalite.co/policies/terms-of-service) · [/policies/shipping-policy](https://vidalite.co/policies/shipping-policy) - **Sitemap** — [/sitemap.xml](https://vidalite.co/sitemap.xml) Product pages carry full schema.org `Product`, `Offer`, `Brand`, `additionalProperty` (specs), and `BreadcrumbList` JSON-LD.
