HI Ray, Yea thats a good assumption based on CFL’s.
But LED are different. What happens is that the LEDs will dim a small amount and then ( there are 4 LED lights in a light fixture) one will turn off for a short while ( few seconds) then it’ll come back on and another will go off and on and on it goes. I’ve see this on other systems from a generator with poor quality. Its pretty odd and totally random. The options for this customer are going back to incandescent, or maybe there is a LED/Dimmer combo out there that works. And as to trying out others, yea thought of that but they are expensive and could be a big rabbit hole. thanks jay > On Sep 5, 2018, at 4:44 PM, Ray <[email protected]> wrote: > > Sorry I can't help with specific models, but my guess is that most dimmers > will work.
