moonseeker Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Looking for a recommendation for LED-sets, the new flat modern ones, that can be dimmed.....What are the pitfalls, please. Thank you to the experts...MS> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 With dimmable LEDs (and CFLs) the difficulty is invariably finding compatible dimmers. Some lamps like leading edge, some trailing edge and it's not always easy to tell which is which. You need to find LEDs which state 'dimmable' then find dimmers that work with them. I gave up long ago, our only dimmers work regular tungsten lamps (I like the colour of dimmed tungsten anyway). We have a number of lighting circuits in each room, just turn on however many you need for a particular task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattjock Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Some LED bulbs can be controlled with an app on your mobile. Brightness and color temperature can be controlled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankruatsteve Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Use light sets instead of dimming. IE: put in one light on switch for almost nothing, add a few more lights on another circuit for more, etc. When you do have a dimmer, it's almost never used anyway.

denis911 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hi Moonseeker, I have had dimmable LED's in my house since I had it built 21/2 years ago, only had one of 68 lights fail and that was the controller box, which the lighting company replaced free of charge, (including a spare one) The contact is Wendy Chen, [email protected], the lights are about $8-&10 each depending what wattage you choose, a bit dearer than tungsten but the saving and longevity over a period, out ways the cost. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
