Not if you use Phillips bulbs.

And exactly what are the qualifications of the author? A "text-based

I'll believe the engineers who design dimmers, not the funny pages.

Of course you won't believe it, but Philips (one l, a Dutch company)
know how to design lighting systems.

I never said they didn't. But that doesn't mean their LED bulbs work
with legacy dimmers.

Independent reviews by untrained people are worth exactly what you paid

Keep reading the funny pages. They're your speed.

Yes, you will believe the engineers from the company whose bulbs and
dimmers you sell; you kind of have to.

There are lots of INDEPENDANT reviews out there that do NOT hold the
same views you do.

No, I don't. I believe them because they are correct. If I didn't
believe them, we wouldn't sell their product.

And what are the qualifications of the guy who wrote the blog? A

engineering degree? His experience in test labs?

Any UNQUALIFIED reviewer is in the funny pages. And they are right at
your speed.
