    Hello, help Forumers.


    Following the need for saving and spirit of the time, I changed the bulbs from halogen to LED. I bought bulbs with a dimmer dedicated. I have 6 of them. This is a Philips 4.4W. The halogen dimmer worked correctly, the LED "squinting" occurs, but only at the lowest speed of the dimmer. This is not flashing, but very fast blinking. All I need to do is replace one LED with a normal halogen for testing and everything starts working. Is there an option to solve my problem?

    I read that replacing a dimmer often helps, but maybe there is an alternative.

    Such bulbs:
    LED bulb HALOGEN GU10 4,4W 35W 250lm PHILIPS 3000K 36D DIMMABLE

    Such a dimmer:
    Maximum power 2000W 10A 250V

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    As far as I know, the dimmer must be dedicated to leds. Yours is rather halogen.

    In the dimmer parameters you should have the minimum power parameter.

    There is a problem with the markings on this dimmer, I have another one, I found it. There is nothing written on the device. There is no user manual, it is only sealed in foil. Written lighting dimmer Model: 9206-71, 250VAC / 10 A Max.


    I have a request, would you help me find a dimmer for LED bulbs for 230 V, up to the power I wrote about. There is quite a lot of it, these more reputable companies cost PLN 80-170. Do you think that buying a device from the XXXX brand makes sense?

    I found something like this ...

    I also bought something like that ... sometime. Only 4-amp triac inside (max). Such devices are good for halogens and not for leds. For a company one should spend from 80 zlotys (eg Simon 54) to almost 500 (Berker), but they work as it should. At the same time, 0% - 100% regulation cannot be expected, and only 30-60% to 100%. Only the PWM power supply can help, but for 12V light sources.
