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?


Yes, they are getting paid, but not to sell light bulbs or dimmers

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.


Nope, Philips says nothing like your favorite company.

And the funny thing is, CNET judged Phillip among the best.
