Interior Led Spotlights Are Way Too Bright

Nice 1, Loving the word ,"dimmerabile"

Is this the CBE dimmer referred to? CBE Electronic Dimmer Switch - Rainbow Conversions Ltd

If so the Rainbow website says that it's not for LEDs!

Covered this on page 1. It’s fine.

I expect they say "not for LEDs" to cover themselves for customers with CC units,
they probably dont want to argue the difference, easier to just say "no LEDs".

Re the LED dimming level, they could have a tailored response for incandescents
which have a very non-linear brightness/current curve. Up to about 50% a bulb
would hardly glow, so a tailored dimmer would cover say 40 to 100%.
LEDs would half-light at 50% which I think is what the lads were saying.

In that casse, could an additional resistor be placed in series to the dimmer switch to dim the LEDs (with an appropriate resistor give 20 to 80% brightness for example)?
