We recently wrote several articles about install LED lights recessed luminaires. As we in our House several dimmer use a dimmable led was a huge selling point for me, led's, that we are installed. Unfortunately, I didn't know that just because a LED says it is dimmable means not all dimmer works.
It is important to to do some research before buying LED lights for your home.If you currently have dimmer switches take to the circuits that you plan, install LED lights then an inventory make dimmer and Modelle.Sie need this information to the compatibility between the LED and the dimmer to check cross.
After installing the CREE EcoSmart LED's in our House, we started to notice some slight "Flash" and "Dimming" by the led's at certain times.If we would turn the other room an other dimmer in an adjacent space would, for example, easily for a second or two dim.Wir have a very light flicker when using the microwave. Both of these problems occur on two different Lutron dimmer switch models.
To better understand what was going on I spoke with Ken Byrd, engineering applications in CREE and asked him to explain the problems we have experienced.Ken did a wonderful job explaining that make some of the more complicated engineering behind both the led's and the dimmer that your marriage difficult.
Ken quickly pointed out that your website listed who with their LEDs were tested recommended dimmer.In hind site I should have explored the dimmer a bit first, but what is done! our home uses two Lutron dimmer, Lutron RadioRA system and a pretty standard toggle Lutron Dimmer.Leider neither these dimmers has been added to the recommended list of the dimmer and is probably responsible for the small problems that we experience.
The problem is quite technical but boils down, dimmer, the use of higher electrical loads (600 Watt dimmer versus a dimmer!) could see only 60 Watt manufactured and designed.The electronics work aimed at achieving these dimmers to work with the lighter loads and stresses.
With LED's cause the following problems in addition to the problems that we experience conventional dimmer switches that can.
The LED beacon works may at the all.When dimmed, it is possible that it is early "drop out" where is the light only disabled, if easily dimmed.Significant "noise" in the dimmer picked up and flicker can be transferred and unequal light.Lights can only switched off randomly times.For now we plan to "Life" with the light Unannehmlichkeiten.Unsere RadioRA dimmer replace would be quite costly and not something we are ready to buy LED lights now investieren.jedoch, if you plan then I recommend you some research leveling now design most dimmer manufacturer and provides LED dimmer rated.
For example, now offers a Lutron family of C · L dimmer for dimmable CFL and LED lamps.these dimmers are specifically designed for the lower voltage lighting solutions handle, and at the same time features of a versatile dimmer.
If you plan to install LED lights in your home on dimmer switches then consider in the voraus.Tun your research and find out, what dimmer with LED lights to work, you install to. this save you money and aggravation for investment in LED lights.
