Seen this in many houses, people upgrade their lighting setup and install a dimmer. Which works. But usually it also makes the lights flicker unintentionally, which is super annoying IMO.
Now, my understanding of electrical engineering is pretty rudimentary so I’d appreciate more something that explains the concept in a way that Cavewoman Mothra can understand rather than something technically accurate.
Thanks
Well, this is anecdotal, but I bought an older home (circa 1990’s) with dimmers already built in. We went through a number of LED bulbs and most flickered and some did not.
Those that worked worked more by luck than by design though. That’s what I’m trying to say. Different dimmer, and you’ll probably get different ones working.
Can you give me a few examples (links)/to what I should look for if I decide to go through the effort of swapping the old ones out?
