According to the manufacturer's specifications, this dimmer is designed exclusively for use with incandescent and halogen bulbs. It is a leading-edge (triac-based) dimmer, which does not support the electronic drivers found in LED bulbs.
We recommend Trailing Edge Dimmers for LED
Trailing edge dimmers are better suited for LED lights because they are designed to reduce the amount of electrical noise and voltage spikes that can damage or reduce the lifespan of LEDs. Trailing edge dimmers use a method of dimming that gradually reduces the amount of power supplied to the LED, resulting in a smoother and more gradual dimming effect. This is in contrast to leading edge dimmers, which use a method of dimming that abruptly cuts the power supply to the LED, causing electrical noise and voltage spikes that can damage or reduce the lifespan of the LED.
