AFX INC.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AFX INC. from 3G Electric.
What are the available color temperatures for AFX Octavia flush-mount lights?
AFX Octavia flush-mount fixtures feature integrated LEDs with selectable color temperatures of 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K. The selection is typically made via a switch on the fixture or a compatible dimmer control, depending on the model. This allows one SKU to serve multiple lighting design requirements, reducing the need to stock separate fixtures for warm, neutral, and cool white applications. The default setting from the factory is often 3500K, but the exact default may vary by model. Refer to the specific product datasheet for the switching method and default color temperature.
What lumen outputs and wattages are available in the AFX Octavia series?
The AFX Octavia flush-mount series includes models delivering 1,800 lumens at 22 W, 2,500 lumens at 33 W, and 3,200 lumens at 46 W. These outputs correspond to fixture diameters of approximately 11 5/8 inches, 14 inches, 19 inches, and 20 inches. The lumens per watt range from about 70 to 82, depending on the model. All models operate on 120V AC and use integrated LEDs. When selecting, consider the ceiling height and desired illuminance; higher lumen models are typically used in larger rooms or where higher light levels are required.
What housing finishes are offered for AFX Octavia flush-mount lights?
AFX Octavia flush-mount lights are available in brushed aluminum, satin brass, and black housing finishes. The finish is applied to the main body of the fixture, which has a 3-inch profile. Brushed aluminum provides a neutral metallic appearance, satin brass offers a warm tone, and black provides a high-contrast look. Not all finishes are available in every diameter and lumen combination. For specific finish and size availability, consult the product listing or contact 3G Electric with the desired SKU.
Are AFX Octavia flush-mount lights dimmable?
AFX Octavia flush-mount fixtures with integrated LEDs are generally dimmable when used with compatible dimmers. The dimming protocol (e.g., TRIAC, ELV, or 0-10V) depends on the specific model and driver. Not all dimmers are compatible; using an incompatible dimmer can cause flickering, reduced dimming range, or premature driver failure. Always verify the dimmer compatibility list provided in the product documentation or consult 3G Electric's technical support before specifying a dimming system. The fixtures operate on 120V AC input.
What is the voltage requirement for AFX Octavia flush-mount lights?
AFX Octavia flush-mount lights are designed for 120V AC operation. They are not dual-voltage or 277V models. For installations with 277V or other supply voltages, a step-down transformer or a different fixture series would be required. The 120V AC requirement is standard for residential and many commercial lighting circuits in North America. Ensure the branch circuit matches the fixture voltage to avoid damage. 3G Electric can provide spec sheets confirming voltage for each SKU.
How does 3G Electric support AFX product selection and ordering?
3G Electric stocks over 120 AFX SKUs, including the Octavia, Barlow, and Bailey series. The distributor provides access to product datasheets, specification sheets, and installation manuals. For procurement, 3G Electric can cross-reference model numbers, confirm availability, and provide quotations for specific quantities. Technical staff can assist with selecting the appropriate lumen output, color temperature, and finish for a given application. Orders are shipped globally with export documentation available. 3G Electric does not manufacture AFX products; it is an authorized distributor of the brand.
