quote: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.
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.
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.

High CRI LED's are available but $$$, I'm glad I stocked up on American-made heavy duty incandescents years ago, my bedside table lamps and desk lamps use them. My fiancée's mother is fanatical about using crappy, high-lumem LED's everywhere so I kept all the incandescents she wanted to throw away.
