depends on the wattage. A LED can be 5 watts each vs incandescent or halogen that can be 50 watts each.Groovemaster wrote:The dimmer switch/potentiometer is "T&J" from Modern Elect. I'll get the model of the bulb later. The led's are on a separate breaker and switch. The only thing i find odd is the electrician put 12 on one switch....I believe the Inspectorate allows nine per switch......???
so that whole circuit is 36w. A single regular incandescent bulb is 60w, some are 100w. You safe thereGroovemaster wrote:Each bulb is 3W
Groovemaster wrote:Sooooo......They not dimmable....called lighthouse. I specifically asked if they were before I purchased...paid $85 per bulb and now found out the dimmable is $185.
what is the brand of the bulb?Groovemaster wrote:^^^ nah ...I guess I would put them on a switch and make the lights in the chandelier dimmable
Thanks for the info guys

LED's can be any colour temperatureRBphoto wrote:Just saying.. not energy efficient, but tungsten is the most variable dimmable, flicker free lighting technology there is. The orange glow is a lot less harsh on the eyes at night than anything else. Still change that breaker though. That noise kinda suspect.

There are warm white, daylight etc
Some LEDs let you switch between 3200K and 5600K
yup but that's like complaining that your TV or computer monitor or tablet or phone flickers. The frequency is high enough that it wont matterRBphoto wrote:Duane 3NE 2NR wrote:LED's can be any colour temperatureRBphoto wrote:Just saying.. not energy efficient, but tungsten is the most variable dimmable, flicker free lighting technology there is.

That is correct about the fixed color ones. Those shifting ones are really expensive though and are not flicker free. They use PWM to vary how much different colored LED's contribute to overall color by switching them at high frequency.

anyway the switching ones are for specific use, not really for downlighters.
I'm surprised you actually like electricity! I'm impressed! I always thought you were a kerosene lamp kinda guyRBphoto wrote:Duane 3NE 2NR wrote:yup but that's like complaining that your TV or computer monitor or tablet or phone flickers.

I hate my flickering cellphone screen I really hate downlighters except for task and work areas. I love hanging lights and uplighters for the diffuse glow they give.
