"Will this bulb flicker with my dimmer?" As an LED bulb manufacturer, this is the most frequent question we receive.
At our factory, we often receive dimmer switches from clients in New York, London, São Paulo, and Sydney. Local brands sent by our customers who need us to guarantee that our dimmable LED bulbs will work perfectly with their specific wall switches.
We don't just guess; we test. We have shelves stacked with many dimmers from around the globe to ensure our smart and dimmable LEDs light achieve that perfect, smooth curve without the dreaded "strobe effect."
Based on our extensive lab testing and industry reputation,

With so many options, how do you decide?
Protocol Matters: Are you using legacy wiring (Triac), commercial standard (0-10V), or a digital system (DALI/KNX)? Choose a specialist in that protocol. (e.g., LTECH for DALI, Lutron for Triac).
Region & Voltage: Ensure the manufacturer is certified for your region (UL for USA, CE for Europe). A 220V dimmer from Simon won't work in a 120V US home.
Smart vs. Analog: If you need app control, look at brands like Tuya-ecosystem partners, Lutron Caséta, or Philips Hue. For simple reliability, sticking to Leviton or Legrand is a safe bet.
