Dimmer to use with a LED pendant/chandelier that has 25 LED lights | on ElectriciansForums

To be able to dim LED lamps two things need to align... the dimmer must be capable of modifying the mains in a way that is compatible with the LED driver and the driver itself must be capable of being dimmed.

The driver is either built into the lamp or, as is the case of that lamp, built into the unit that mounts the light to the ceiling and based on the fact you state it's not dimming... I would say it's not capable of being dimmed.

Thanks SparkyChick. It stated on the box that it was dimmable - and had the dimmable symbol. But with a regular led dimmer, it dims a little but makes a low humming noise 😮. Then when I dim a bit lower, all bulbs go off.
