Why are dimmable LED lightbulbs not suitable for use with dimmers?
In: 5
Two different things going on here.
Dumb, dimmable bulbs can be used with dimmers no problem.
It’s the smart bulbs that can’t be used with a dimmer. Smart bulbs have a little computer in them that controls everything in it (color, brightness, etc.) and that computer needs the normal voltage to operate properly. A dimmer cuts the voltage (less voltage equals less light) so that can cause issues for the little computer.
Smart bulbs use their own internal dimmer controlled by the little computer. There’s no need for a hardwired dimmer switch, and it’s just asking for issues if there is one.
