I've never damaged a LED by *trying* it on a non trailing

dimmer.

then you've not used a CR PSU led light for that job.

How would I know a CR PSU from an LED that simply says
'dimmable'
(with a
suitable dimmer) ?

Dimmable LEDs can not contain CR PSUs, they don't survive chopper
dimming.

The only way to tell a CR PSU LED from an SMPSU LED is to open it
up.

Thats bull****, you can measure it too.

It is possible to scope the mains current
waveform to see what's going on,

Thats not the only way to measure it.

whether it is or not has no relevance to a
non-electronics person asking how they
can distinguish one form the other.


You never could bull**** your way out of a wet paper bag.

A non electronics person wouldnt be able to work out
what type of PSU it has even after they had opened it
up, you pathetic excuse for a bull**** artist.


it's easy to spot the difference.


Not for a non electronics person, you
pathetic excuse for a bull**** artist.

And the plow**** is in fact an
electronics person, ****wit.


with no familiarity with LED PSUs.


Thats bull**** too.

But I'm sure he could tell a SMPSU from a capacitor on sight


And would certainly be able to measure the led bulb
to see what sort of PSU it has, and even has a scope
and knows how to use it too, you pathetic excuse for
a bull**** artist.

Keep digging, you'll be out in china any day now.
Hopefully in Hubin.
