In pursuit of the perfectly dimmable LED

Which light bulb upgrade will work best with your existing dimmer switches?

I'm not sure if it's the exact model from the review, but... I bought a couple of the "Philips 429258 11-watt A19 LED Household Dimmable Light Bulb, Soft White" and they've been great. I don't hear any buzzing from about 1 foot away. That's the closest I've put my ear.

Thanks, I am very interested in switching to these types of bulbs!

What about full-range dimming for LEDs, and maintaining a correct spectrum when being dimmed? Buzzing it the least of my worries.

This is good info, thanks. fwiw, in the lighting profession "bulbs" are referred to as lamps. LED lamps are the tiny chip-based component(s) where that chip is the "package". The entire assembly of LED packages, driver and encasements (in this case, the incandescent-like plastic surround) is a luminaire. Technically, then, this is a comparison of LED luminaires.

Misleading title....should be "in pursuit of a silently dimming LED". I was looking for LEDs that dim to a very low degree, something that is not a goal in this video.

Guess you didn't offer any additional videos or advise. No more videos on bulbs

Try the phillips bulb on the other dimmers

The video shows 3  wallLED dimmers? or just normal dimmers for halogen

Hi!!! I am currently in search of a good tri color bulb. The bulb that can change color temperature by just powering off or on the switch. However, I am thinking of using a dimming switch in order to dim further the light whenever it is for example in 4000k color temperature. Do you think the dimming switch can do that?

0:48 You are looking for words: Pulse Width Modulation or PWM.

As I am in the process of attempting to build my own LED video light, I am using Yuji Int. LED's and a 600W booster.  Any idea why I would be getting a buzzing sound with a booster and any suggestions on what I can do about it?

Which watt of dimmable bulb suitable for outlet 250V 660W? Should be l.e.d or not, or frosted or transparent light?

Maybe you should dim the Philips before putting the mike to it... I guess you got Philips to pay for this...

I'm not an anti-LED luddite, but I HATE being forced to use them. I've tried a couple brands of LED in my 11-year old porch lights that just don't work. (They come on at 50% power by default when it gets dark, and illuminate to full power when the motion sensor is tripped.) I can't remember which brands. I picked these fixtures out myself and I really don't want to buy new fixtures again soon.

I have a hard time believing an ordinary LED bulb worked with an analog dimmer. You have a model number for that Phillips bulb? Maybe a leftist reader can help me out and explain how to get through this green new deal nightmare that is only beginning.

I guess this video is 9 years old so they probably don't make that unicorn Phillips LED light bulb anymore.

Urgh, I hate dimmers. Such a waste of electricity.

With LEDs we have gone back a 100 yrs. Expensive garbage.
