In my kitchen I have a flushmount light with an integrated led. I put in an LED dimmer on the switch and all is working well.

However, I had to replace it way sooner than I was expecting. Is there a possibly that the dimmer is hard on it?

I have the exact same one on another non-dimmer switch that is still running fine. That said the other one gets much less use so it could just be that.

    You need dimmable LED bulbs. Also it’s very likely both the switch and the bulb will be trailing edge, but it’s worth double checking, because having one be leading edge and the other trailing edge can cause issues

      It is a dimmable fixture. I made sure on that as I’ve run into that problem before.
