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.
She is out now, and I have not yet looked at the dangling bulb.
I have not yet found anything up-to-date-looking about this in the Wiki-FAQ.
So, what would it be best to do?
P.S. I'm still catching up on recommendations for Win7 - Win10.
I have bought LED bulbs from homebase that are both cheap and alledely
dimmable. They sort of dim - not great, but dim they do. On a bog
standard dimnmer.
You can get LED compatible dimmer modules to replace the rotary knob
things in the existing dimnmer foir not huge money
