Please note: This chart is for general overviews and buyers are responsible for verifying all specific information. While reasonable efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of this data at the time of preparation, there may be unintentional mistakes or outdated information. Some of this data fluctuates regularly (such as the app ratings) and it should be noted that the most recent update was in October of 2024. Additionally, some metrics are subjective, such as "total brightness" (High, Medium, or Low) but they are based on data such as the number of actual LEDs installed per foot and the type of LED used. Total brightness can vary based on many other factors. We welcome corrections and we will promptly update any inaccuracies that are brought to our attention.
Additionally, the above Prism offering is standard with most Prism Luxury Lights (but can vary for custom or budget packages). Please contact us for full terms and conditions. Thank you!
