I have an automatic dimming lamp in my TV room that gradually dims as daylight lightens the room to maintain a set amount of light. The light setting is adjustable from low to full on which works great for incandescent lights, but not good for CFL Lamps.
I’ve had a CFL lamp in it for a number of years now and have kept it full-on high the whole time to avoid flickering. Then I noticed the price of LEDs falling to a reasonable price and I purchased a “Dimmable LED lamp” to replace the CFL and take advantage of the Auto dimming function.
Well the Dimmable LED lamp doesn’t dim so well and acts pretty much the same as the CFL with flickering. I paid extra for the Dimmable LED and I’m wondering if this is just fraud on the Manufactures part or does LEDs require a special dimmer like fluorescent does?
