Note the paragraph under "Do all LED and CFL light bulbs work with all
dimmers?"
No, thet don't, it depends on the manufacturer of the bulb.
Here's a couple of references from someone that does not sell light bulbs
or dimmers:
http://www.cnet.com/how-to/five-thin...ing-led-bulbs/
http://www.cnet.com/news/which-led-l...t-for-dimming/
I find cnet to be more reliable than PC Magazine - but that isn't saying
much. They are a consumer-oriented site, and dumb down their reports
significantly to meet the average reader's intelligence (which means
about the third-grade level - seriously). And please note the first
reference is a person who is a "CNET How-to expert" and the second a
"text-based adventure connoisseur".. Neither is an engineer. What are
their credentials - except that they got paid?
I'll go by the manufacturers which product the goods - and they all say
the same thing. When in doubt, find out from the experts.
