What is a dimmable LED lamp?
What is the problem of application
The fact is that the design of the usual led lamp includes a micro-rectifier that converts 220V AC to DC. This device has only two positions for adjusting the light - turn on and off. In the same time Dimmer allows you to smoothly change the illumination in the range from 10 to 100%
As you know, when you try to combine conventional light bulbs and a conventional dimmer, it will not work to achieve the desired result. In addition, in this case, both devices will fail. At the same time, the LED device for dimmers includes an additional unit, which is why the adjustment takes place.
In appearance, it is impossible to distinguish ordinary bulbs from dimmable ones, because outwardly they are absolutely identical. The only difference is the inscription, the advanced model should have the designation “dimmable” or the corresponding logo (as shown in the photo).
What to consider
A very important nuance that you should know is that not all dimmers are suitable for diode bulbs. Before buying, you must always consult on the conformity of both products. About, how to choose a dimmer, we told in a separate article.
It should also be noted that when buying lamps it is necessary to give preference only to high-quality products. It is best to use dimmable LED lamps from manufacturers such as Gauss, Osram, Philips, X-Flash, and Uniel. The prices of such companies are much higher, but the bulbs will last much longer.
In addition, the low cost of products may be one of the reasons that LED lamp glows in the dark either flickers. In this case, you still have to overpay for the purchase of a new device.
Do not worry about whether the base of your chosen light bulb fits a crystal chandelier installed in the house, spotlights or spots. Today, all the most populartypes of lamp caps used for the manufacture of dimmable devices. Usually, fittings with e14, e27, GU 5.3, G9 and mr16 markings are suitable for luminaires.
Well, the last, no less important advice for you is to choose the power of the dimmer correctly. Each device has its own technical characteristics, which should be selected based on the total power of dimmable LED lamps. For example, if you buy a 100 W dimmer, and the total power of the light sources is less, nothing good will come of it.
Is it worth buying
Many people wonder how a good option is to use dimmable LED lamps for the home. If you decide to use this option only for reasons of economy, read the reviews on the forums well. Those who have already bought products leave both positive and negative reviews.
We recommend that you use dimmable LED lamps only to make you feel comfortable and unusual in your home. Adjusting the lighting will allow you to make both dim lights for a romantic dinner, and a bright light for cooking (if you take the kitchen as an example).
The only but significant drawback of light bulbs is the high price, so analyze well how beneficial this option will be for you.
That's all I wanted to tell you about this issue. We hope that now you have fully learned what dimmable LED lamps are and how they work!

Good day. Tell me how to be. I have a chandelier of 8 lamps + a dimmir inside of which there is a 3 Amp fuse, up to a certain point there were eight incandescent lamps in this lamp and worked without problems (except for the fact that some periodically burned out) and the brightness was adjusted, I decided to put eight LED dimmable lamps, so if I install more than three LED lamps in the chandelier, the fuse will fail. With three LED lamps, everything works and is dimmed, even the remaining five I install incandescent lamps, then everything also works and is adjustable. It seems that when the lamps start, there is a large current at the start and the fuse does not withstand.
Hello! And the power of 8 LED lamps corresponds to the power of 8 incandescent lamps? Most likely, the load on the dimmer is too high, so the fuse blows. It is recommended to choose a dimmer power 50% more than the total load of all the lamps that it serves!
admin, do not pretend to be stupid (to say the least). The man wrote: there were 8 incandescent lamps (total at a minimum of 60W * 8 = 480W), there were 8 LEDs (total at a maximum of 15 * 8 = 120W). What load can be higher ?? This is the first, second: the article says that you need to choose the regulator closest to the lamp power, and in response, op-pa, choose with a 50% margin (although this is logical). Choate is inappropriate ...
And on the topic - the fuse is knocked out, because in LED lamps there are capacities after the rectifier. At the time of inclusion, the charging current of these containers is quite high. This impulse also blows out your safety lock. Of course, the primitive option is to put a larger fuse in the rating, but it is more prudent to change the dimmer to the device more powerful.
Absolutely in the soul is true.
At the time of the start of the lamps, the electrolytic capacitors of their drivers are charged, at this moment the starting current is very large.
And what happens if a dimmed lamp is screwed into a regular lamp without adjustment?
If it works, then at maximum brightness or some other?
Will work at maximum brightness
The problem is the high current consumption of the LED lamps at the on, i.e. You need to ensure the alternate start of the lamps, for example in four stages: 2-4-6-8.
Are these dimmable LED lamps sold in Kazakhstan? If so, in which city?
good time of day. here is the question for me. There is a lamp in the lamp 2 LEDs, each LED 3 watts with a voltage of 3 volts. How much electricity will this lamp consume in kW?

I bought a chandelier with LED strips that are adjustable in color and light intensity, as a result, when you turn on a slightly audible hum, but it is very unpleasant, wants to turn off the light as soon as possible (
