[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 551020, member: 23472"] What you are experiencing is quite common. It is due to incompatibility between lamps and dimmer. Unlike "old" lamps that just had a wire in a bulb that gets very hot and glows brighter and brighter. LED's have to have electronic drivers, not all drivers work with all dimmers. (Some drivers are in the lamp fitting, some are external) The dimmer should be a trailing edge type. I have a programmable dimmer for my LED lights by varilight, no flicker at all, and the lamps can go really dim. (Yes, my previous dimmer was just not very good.) [/QUOTE]
