We understand the significance of creating the right atmosphere in your home, and that often involves dimming capabilities. While not all our products are compatible with dimmer switches, we provide a selection that meets this need.


How dimmers work...

The integration of LED technology has introduced some complexity into the world of dimmer compatibility. Traditional dimmers adjust brightness by reducing the voltage, which directly affects incandescent bulbs. LEDs, however, operate with a constant current, making the compatibility with dimmer switches a bit more complex. The driver within LED lights plays a crucial role, as it regulates the power to ensure a constant current. An incompatible match between your LED driver and the dimmer switch can result in flickering, buzzing, or damage to the bulb.


Dimming LEDs...

To circumvent these issues, opting for LED-specific dimmer switches or LED bulbs with built-in dimming drivers is key. We specify on each product page whether a light or bulb is dimmer compatible. It’s important to note that traditional dimmer switches may not work with our LED bulbs or lights with integrated LEDs. However, most of our lighting options are compatible with retro-fit bulbs that support dimming, provided the bulb itself is dimmer-compatible.


Choosing a dimmer...

For a flicker-free experience and optimal performance, selecting the appropriate dimmer switch is essential. Consider the following:

Check product specifications. Always refer to the product page for detailed information on dimmer compatibility.

Opt for LED-rated dimmer switches. For LED lighting products, ensure you’re using dimmer switches rated for LEDs.

Consult our customer service. If you’re unsure, our customer service team is here to guide you based on your needs.

Illuminating support...

Beyond dimmer compatibility, understanding the broader aspects of lighting design can significantly enhance the ambiance and functionality of your space. From the right type of lighting (ambient, task, accent) to how different fixtures (ceiling, wall, table and floor) work together, our goal is not just to sell you a light but to illuminate your world in the most beautiful, efficient, and harmonious way possible.
