Thank you for your question. This socket dimmer can be used with some dimmable LED bulbs; however, compatibility depends on the specific LED bulb. Because LED driver designs vary by manufacturer, we cannot guarantee that every dimmable LED will perform properly. Some bulbs may exhibit flickering, a limited dimming range, or may not dim smoothly. For best results, we recommend testing with your preferred dimmable LED bulb or using an incandescent bulb, which this socket dimmer was originally designed to support.
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.
