240v Downlighters with LED Dimmable bulbs

[Dannydigger]

Hi Guys,

Im currently quoting a job to install dimmable downlighters.

Firstly, can I use 240v downlighters with dimmable LED bulbs

Secondly, can I use a standard dimmer switch or does it have to be a low voltage one?

Thanks as always

Dan

you can buy GU10 LED's so yes you can do, a standard dimmer would do it... however as I work at a manufacturer you need to make sure that the LED fittings are compatible with the dimmer....... AKA led is a pain

I instal the complete dimmable led inc driver, costs approx £25 .
I used to sometimes fit led lamps only but not worth the aggro and don't perform half as good when using a decent dimmer switch,
