Suitable Dimmers for LED Lighting

[Bubblecraft]

Hey everyone

Hope someone can help me. I have a customer who is wanting to replace GU10's throughout his home with LED's. So far the rest of the house has been done but the hallway has dimmers & has been replaced with dimmable LED's but the existing dimmers cannot handle the low wattage, 5 x 9w LED's, and has already burnt out one of the dimmers. I haven't managed to work out whether it requires "leading edge" or "trailing edge" dimmers or simply need to replace the existing 2-way dimmers with ones that can cope with very low wattages.

If you have any suggestions or advice, I would be grateful.

Thanks guys

V-Pro dimmers are suitable for mains lighting, most dimmable electronic transformers* and with a 10W minimum load are suitable for dimmable low energy lighting, including most dimmable LEDs (Philips MasterLED and Toshiba brands are particularly recommended).

think you require a trailing edge dimmer if im not mistaken

Yeah, it's trailing edge. Ordered the Varilight V-pro so should sort all problems
