Yes. The standard on/off sockets included with these lamp kits can be used with LED bulbs. For the dimmable socket option, you must use a dimmable LED bulb. Because LED bulbs and dimming electronics vary by manufacturer, dimming performance and compatibility cannot be guaranteed with every LED bulb. You may experience a limited dimming range, flickering, or other performance differences depending on the bulb used.
We generally 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.
