This hi-low switch was designed for incandescent bulbs and may not function properly with LED bulbs. Many LED bulbs require LED-compatible dimmers or controls, and using this switch with an LED bulb may result in flickering, reduced dimming range, or the bulb not functioning correctly. For LED applications, we recommend using a trailing-edge dimmer specifically designed for 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.
