My flat's main room ceiling lighting is OEM, apart from adding shades
and replacing bulbs. It has two dangling lights controlled by a 2-spst
switch pair by the door.
The main room of the flat of my next-door neighbour (not the recently
aforementioned neighbour) would originally have had the same. It now
has a double-dimmer switch pair by the door, a dangling light at one end
with a bulb which works, and at the other end a three-bulb
ceiling-mounted fitting with no bulbs.
The dimmers would have been installed for/by the previous resident,
meaning at least eight years ago, and therefore designed for
incandescent filament bulbs.
She wants to have bulbs in the three-bulb fitting.
I remember that nowadays one must be careful about compatibility between
bulbs and dimmers.
It's just possible the dimmers may work with LEDs. I have MK grid ones
dating from the 90s which do.
You won't break anything by trying LED bulbs on a none LED dimmer.
