Posted 14 October 2013 - 07:32 PM. The LED/CFL dimmer has several features geared to LED and CFL bulbs. First, it is designed to control lights that only use a small amount of wattage without flickering. Second the lighting curve is designed to match LED bulbs and not incandescent bulbs. For example if you set a regular dimmer to 50%, that works fine for incandescent bulbs but an LED bulb with the same dimmer would be at 90%. The LED dimmer keeps the bulb nearer to the correct brightness. Finally HAI has tested many CFL and LED bulbs with this dimmer, so that helps you know what works.
