What happens when I control an LED smart bulb with an incandescent dimmer?


There are many options for buying led bulbs, but compatible LED dimmers are hard to pick. Many users will be confident that the dimmers of traditional incandescent lamps can be used. The most common ones in the market are thyristor dimmers, which are divided into DC and AC. They are very useful for incandescent lamps.

Choosing a suitable color temperature, a suitable lumen level, and a suitable beam angle for the led light is the requirement for dimming. Unlike the incandescent mode in which ordinary incandescent lamps are very random, dimming a led bulb with a thyristor may be successful, but in most cases many problems will occur.

Four conditions:

The most common problem is the buzzing or stroking of the squeak. Ordinary incandescent lamps only need to regulate the voltage to adjust the brightness and darkness, but for LED lights, it may not work. We did the experiment and there are four cases:

1. Can't open at all, it doesn't shine at all!

2. It can only be lit with 100% illumination.

3. It works fine but the buzzing sound is very loud.

4. A strobe will occur when adjusting to a certain brightness.


19.5V Plug in AC/DC Adapter were widely used for any small power device, such as CCTV Cameras, wireless routers, LED strip, ADSL cats, HUB, switches, security cameras, audio/video power supply. For 19.5V wall mount power supplies, the maximum output current is 1.85A,total 36W output. Our power adaptor meets different certificates for different countries` request – like UL/cUL/CCC-CQC/ PES/SAA/C-TICK/CB/GB certificate. All our switching power adapter were getting 2-hours burn-in test & 3KV high voltage test during production.
