Do Energy Saving Bulbs Work With a Dimming Switch?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

LED bulbs are the latest innovation in energy-efficient lighting. While they are more efficient than standard light<\/keyword> bulbs, they won’t work with a dimmer switch. Dimming the current causes the bulb to flicker, a visual effect that damages the internal component of the bulb. If you’re using energy-saving bulbs in older fixtures, you may not be able to use them with a dimmer switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic difference between a traditional bulb and an energy-efficient bulb is the type of electronics. A conventional bulb has an internal electronic circuit that regulates the amount of gas it receives. It is not compatible with a dimmer switch because the ballast must provide a constant amount of power in order to operate. In dimmable bulbs, however, the ballasts have extra electronics to work efficiently with less power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dimmer switch is not required for a new energy-saving light<\/keyword> bulb. A dimmer switch, on the other hand, can be used with any type of energy-saving light<\/keyword> bulb. In the past, these switches were not compatible with incandescent light<\/keyword> bulbs. As a result, the incandescent bulbs still consume more electricity and produce more heat than a dimming switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
