Yes madam I’ve brought 10 dimmers and 15 different makes of LED gu10s and I’ll be here for 6hours. Methinks the industry needs a standard alphabet system that states what can be used with what. EG Crompton “C” with these dimmers eg varilite , Hamilton etc Seems like shooting in the dark at the moment, excuse the pun😂😊 Keep up the vids boys

I tend to go for Varilight dimmers for LED.

Thank you gentlemen; you answered my questions quickly and fully.

Great video, I have the exact same CRI97 Philips Master GU10 and it was really helpful. By the way, LIDL recently introduced their own CRI97 GU10 lamps, costing 10 times less than the Philips... dimmable, too.

I know here in the US, there are some LED lamp manufacturers whose LED bulbs are compatible with both types of dimmers (leading and trailing). My go to dimmer is Lutron Triac and ELV types.

Hi, Awesome video explains very well, thank you and much appreciated. Do you which bulb GU10 would be the best to use with the Sonoff D1 dimmer?

Very well explained nice use of the oscilloscope. Your point is important care is needed to ensure compatibility between lamps and dimmers. It would have been to cover WiFi dimmers and specific issues around then. Also one are that was not covered I would like to see more about is the power quality issues their ability to generate harmonics and transients - leakage of this chopped waveform onto nearby located circuits say a light dimmer resistive load and nearby performance of day inductive loads like a vacuum cleaner or even hairdryers. That has two advantages one better brands do invest in keeping that leakage low and second showing electricians the importance of accounting for power quality issues. Very nicely set up and clear display well done to all involved.

Excellent videos gents. I've just been binge-watching your LED strip presentations - fantastic. Now, this video is the FIRST one I've seen that talks about LED lamp compatibility with leading edge phase cut. I've very relieved!! My home has the Dynalite system with halogens. I thought I'd have to swap that or the transformers to drivers. But now you say, I can just swap the LED 'bulbs'. Q: am I correct, and how does one tell which fittings will work/dim? Surely something in the globes' specs would give it away? Again, thoroughly enjoying these videos - keep going. J.

Hi Guys, Good videos. Ive been using Philips WarmGlow Dimmable GU10 LED, 3.8 W - 50W Equivalent, 2700 - 2200K. I put them on a BG dimmer controlling 4 of the GU10s and had no problem. The BG dimmer has a minimum load of 5 watts. But the same dimmer had a problem with a Philips 8 W E27 lamp even after adjusting the trimmer at the back, got flickering at a certain spot. I think some dimmers just won't work with very low load.

V-tac lamps im suprised they lasted the length of the video :)

Lets hope over time the compatibility of a new lamp is within spec of the same lamp after a duration of service (of these new lamps upon eventual failure within its guaranteed service life) ie. still dim within resonable observable brightness between lamps. (or bulbs if a variety of bulbous shape lamp exist)

Hi Guys thank you for that, I recently changed a dimmer for a failed one controlling 4 down lighters, 3 had dichroic lamps and one LED lamp, guess what, different dimming pattern. The new Aurora dimmer module had a small adjustment dial on the side which helped smooth the LED. Could you explain the workings of this particular situation

These LED bulbs are GU10. Mine are all MR16, the low voltage one that requires additional driver/transformer/adapter. Will any of these dimmer work with MR16? I tried replacing to MR16 LEDs in one room, the old dimmer caused all LEDs to blink, I had to remove the dimmer in the end.

Thank you sirs for showing operation of different dimmers on different kinda bulbs. Looks like advancing dimmers technology is one good way in reducing carbon foot print. Jussojuan

What about touch lamps? My son has a globe with a base which you touch to dim. Is this leading or trailing edge or something different?

Are all Osram parathom Glowdim ? If no please suggest me a model number of Osram Parathom Retrofit Classic A Dim that is Glowdim . I went through your site and could see lamps with fix color temperature only e. g 2700K . Nothing like 2200 - 2700K to indicate it's a dim to warm bulb.

I ve bought sylvania refled superia retro led 4.5.w dimmable.But it can not be fully low dimmed its around 30percentage.I am using an old jung 266gde switch for halogen lamps but works fine apart from low dimming.Any suggestions

Hi I have 12 LED light 230V 50Hz 5W DIM. And dimer two switch both 250W max GLS 1-10 leds 100 W max. And dimer not working i Have Tried to take off some light to reduce amount but still not working. Wires are good

Is there any instruction or symbol on the side of the lamp, to say it requires a leading or trailing edge dimmer?

Are you going to do a video on LED driver selection?

How able more then 2 pcs led

How does street light dimmer? Please give me a circuit or Idea for dimming led street light

i thought everyone just use Varlight v pro dimmers works with every lamp 2nd to none. That good i wouldn't even consider any other brand

Canadian Apprentice. Why is your AC waveform so weird? Is that what the European 50hz looks like? Our AC is a sine wave

Zim zimma who got a lamp for me dimmer!.....

I use Zigbee smart lamps T5 or candle, so this problem does not show up!

Dimming lamps is always a nightmare. 😣

Vpro every time

You can "dim" some "non" dimmable LED bulbs with a simple capacitor dimmer! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gK5ma9pzvbWZmmQ.html

The viewing angle of the scope could have been better.

Very bad then no standard for lamps or dimmers, and the person that looses out is the customer
