"No, unlike incandescent bulbs that work with almost any dimmer, LED and

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.
