Think it's generally known that dimming a tungsten bulb reduced its

used a lot more electricity than a 50w on full. Although dimming did
extend the life of the bulb.

So how about LEDs? Since they generate far less heat are they still as
efficient when dimmed? And does dimming make a difference to their life?


Until they can make the colour temperature of LEDs drop as they dim, Ive
decided Im going to just avoid using dimmers with LEDs as the just look
ghastly as the dim IMO.

So you want an LED that behaves like an incandescent? Bit like wanting CDs
to have scratches recorded on them!

The only time I miss the change in colour of incandescents is LED torches
which get dimmer and dimmer without it being obvious that the batteries
are depleted.

My led torches from Aldi still behave like that.
