Hi all,We have one of those 3 lamp ceiling spotlights that
currently
has
3 x50W halogen lamps in it that I would like to change to LED
and
one
ofthe dimmer switches that was previously recommended in another
thread.

Do bear in mind that the quality of light from a dimmed LED is
completely different from a tungsten bulb. They don't get
"warmer" as they dim.

They can do with the best designs like the Philips Hues.

No like some users they just get dimmer. You can change the colour
of
the
light though

So they dont just get a dimmer. And you are free to set a whole
series
of
intensity
and color settings so the color changes automatically as it dims. And
can
name
them too so you can have scenes with to intensity and white you want
too.

If yuo like fiddling

Or use what fiddling someone else has done.


I prefer to set such things myself.


Very easy with IFTTT


As I expected a waste of time, for those people with working brains anyway.



but for most turning down the brightness also affect the colour
temperature , a similar thing happens with the sun , you get a sunset.
