Yes, some bulbs are dimmable. The majority of LED bulbs are not dimmable. LED components operate on DC current typically at 350 mA. Therefore every LED bulb contains a LED driver to convert the AC power to DC power. Special drivers are required if the bulb is to function with a standard voltage regulating wall dimmer such as those made by Lutron and Leviton. Therefore only install bulbs labeled as “Dimmable” in lighting circuits that contain dimmers. Topband brand dimmable LED’s are compatible with the standard Lutron P600 dimmer. If a non-dimmable bulb is installed into a dimmable circuit, the bulb may burnout, flicker, or dammage the dimmer. LED USA is not responsible for mis-use of LED bulbs and specifically is not responsible for non-dimmable bulbs operated with a dimmer.
