[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 2656785, member: 3371"] LOL It's best to buy a LED bulb that specifically says that it is dimmable. I went with these Phillips for the ceiling floods [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/www.homedepot.com_catalog_productImages_145_f8_f8fefab7_32f5_42dc_a32d_c468c30e76af_145.jpg[/IMG] 2 things different as far as LED vs incandescent: 1. Incandescents can be dimmed all the way down to 0 or off. LED can typically only be dimmed down to about 10% of their lumen capacity. 2. Incandescents change color drastically when dimmed and emit that awful orange reddish light when dimmed way down. LED keeps pretty much the same color index all the way from max lumen to min.
