Just did this in my living room - IDK what it is about the LEDs on a dimmer, but something is just not right to my eyes. It's like I can see the frequency or something which sounds absurd. I just can't explain it any other way. Dimmer is really nice and easy to install though.


We found a setting they liked, used the dimmer in the family room, to tone down the lighting when the TV is on. Some, not all LED’s, won’t work with a dimmer.

a good dimmer like the lutron also has a 'gate' to lock down how much it dims when you turn it all the way down to prevent some of that flickering and other LED nonsense.

not a perfect solution; but LEDs are far from 'incadescent level' plug and forget. we're going to keep dealing w/ different light, dimmable vs non-dimmable and CRI levels for years.
