My personal biggest problem with LED bulbs is that my entire (100 year old) home is wired with neutral free light wiring and a lot of 3-way switches. This makes using dimmers very hard and most do not support 3-way and many will not work with LEDs and no neutral wire. Some do - Lutron Caseta makes a nice neutral free dimmer that works on many of my bulbs - but others don’t and I then just use high efficiency incandescents. Shame. Maybe there is a good “neutral free dimmable LED” that allows reasonable leakage current so the dimmer can work.
- ricardobeat 8y agoThere are many recent LED models that have built-in dimming, you step through three or four brightness levels by flicking the switch on and off. Or, switch entirely to Philips/Ikea smart bulbs which are very affordable now. I think dimmers as a wall-mounted fixture will be on the way out soon.
