Describes the difference between Wafer Lights and Disk Lights

Wafer Lights vs Disk Lights

Wafer Lights are designed to mount into a hole in the ceiling, without using a junction box or recessed can. Wafers have a slim remote driver/junction box that is located in the ceiling cavity above the Wafer.

Disk Lights have the driver built into the fixture and mount to a junction box or a recessed can.

Should I use a Wall Heater or a Baseboard Heater?

Wall heaters, which use less wall space than baseboard heaters, use fans to push heat into the room very quickly, whereas baseboard heaters generally require 30 to 60 minutes to heat a room. Wall heaters are also generally quieter than a regular refrigerator; baseboard heaters are virtually noise-free, making them a good choice for bedrooms. Further, baseboard heaters operate at lower temperatures, which means their surfaces are cooler to the touch than the surface of wall heaters. Finally, wall heaters will typically last 8 to 12 years; baseboard heaters often have a life more than 20 years.
