leds don’t dim using triacs but still cant be dimmed right down close
to zero for use as a nightlight with the philips hues particularly.

OK what do they use then, All I remember from my brief experience trying to
dim leds was that the most successful way of doing that was by duty cycle,
ie on to off times with them driven by some kind of oscillator with variable
mark space ratios. However it is obvious that even the briefest of ons and
the longest offs tends to still be visible in most cases, and not terribly
accurate if many leds are used as the load, there being a spread of
linearity in any given number.

A controlled current regulator.

All I remember from my brief experience trying to dim leds was that the
most successful way of doing that was by duty cycle, ie on to off times
with them driven by some kind of oscillator with variable mark space
ratios.

It is much better to control the current thru the leds.

And it makes no sense to use a triac when varying
the mark/space ratio with leds anyway.

However it is obvious that even the briefest of ons and the longest offs
tends to still be visible in most cases,

That’s mad, leds have very little inertia.

and not terribly accurate if many leds are used as the load, there being a
spread of linearity in any given number.

That would be a mad approach too.

PWM is the cheapest way as it needs no other component.

For a small improvement in efficiency then a constant current source
would be best but obviously costs more.

Doesnt necessarily cost anything more at all with leds. Same price as

do it at high enough frequency and there is no visible flicker, and you
can feed the LEDS via a small ferrite inductor with a parallel capacitor
and reduce HF flicker too.

Peeler's skin is only attached to the body along the center ridge of the

But if I buy a "dimmable LED" lightbulb, I can dim it with a dimmer that's on the wall, at 240V AC. Is there electronics inside the bulb sensing the PWM from the dimmer and using that to control its internal current limiter?

Nope, because dimmers on the wall are dinosaur technology. Much
better to have the dimmer in the bulb itself so it can be automatically
controlled as a scene etc so that when you indicate that you are
watching TV it sets the lights to the level that you have decided is
best for that, turns the TV on and plays what you have indicated
you want to watch when you select what you want to watch.

Stupid to have to fart around adjusting the lights with the dimmer
on the wall etc.
