GU10 LED Dimming

[FatAlan]

Just been approached by a mate who purchased six GU10 LEDs marketed as dimmable. States that they were very bright but when he tried to dim them they started flickering. The bulbs were apparently really cheap from cost co. What's the general consensus on this re good makes of bulbs and or dimmers. Stated that he used an old spare dimmer switch that he had in his shed!

They may be ok with an LED dimmer.

As Andy says.

Most regular dimmers need 40 or more watts to work properly. 6 x 5W LED lamps ain't going to cut that particular mustard.

Varilight's V-Pro LED dimmers are pretty good.

Would that work in this case?
