Questions about Dimmers

Is my By Rydéns lamp dimmable?

Each product from By Rydéns will have a note whether it is dimmable or not.

For a lamp that supports dimmer-functionality to work it must be connected to a dimmer and have dimmable light sources.

 

Why does the dimmer cause the LED in my luminaire to flicker?

This is because the dimmer "cuts" the sine wave to give the lamp less power to lower its brightness. Unfortunately, the dimmers vary quite considerably in how well they work. If you have this problem you can test another LED lamp. Certain LED lamps work better with certain dimmers. If that doesn't work, the other option is to change dimmers. New development moves att break-neck pace and new dimmers adapted for LED light sources are continuously coming out.

 

Do you save any energy by dimming the light with dimmer?

Yes you do, dimming the light also increases the lifespan of the light source!

 

Does the LED lamp last longer if you dim the light with dimmer?

Yes it does, dimming the light also reduces energy consumption!
