Why a Trailing Edge Dimmer Switch Is the Best Choice for Your LED Lights in NZ
Share
Thinking about installing a dimmer switch in your home or business? Not all dimmers are created equal—especially when it comes to LED lights. If you're using energy-efficient LED bulbs or dimmable LED downlights, choosing the right type of dimmer switch is crucial. At Greenled, we supply premium trailing edge dimmer switches that are specifically designed to work with modern LEDs.
What Is a Trailing Edge Dimmer?
There are two main types of dimmers: leading edge and trailing edge. Traditional leading edge dimmers were made for old-style incandescent bulbs and often cause flickering or buzzing with LEDs.
Trailing edge dimmers, on the other hand, offer:
- ✔ Smooth, flicker-free dimming
- ✔ Quiet operation without buzzing
- ✔ Better compatibility with low-wattage LED lights
Why It Matters for LED Lighting
LEDs have different electrical needs than older lights. A trailing edge dimmer works with the electronic drivers inside LED bulbs, allowing for precise and stable brightness control. If you're using LED downlights NZ homeowners prefer, pairing them with the correct dimmer is essential for performance and safety.
