Dear all,

according to the manual a LC1 light control can only be used with a Incandescent light bulb, but I was wondering whether I could use a led bulb with my LC1? What is the difference in technique between a LC1 and 2? Could a led bulb be used with a LC2?

Thanks!

The LC2 can be programmed to on/off mode, which the LC1 cannot.

The LC2 cannot dim LED bulbs, only turn them on and off.. 

When turning of a lamp connected to LC1, it will dim the light until it is dark, when turning off a lamp connected to LC2 in on/off mode, it will turn it off "quickly" like a light switch..

And don't forget that the LC2 needs at least a 40W load. Most LED 'bulbs' use less than 40 W. This leads to not functioning illumination or flickering LED!

Thanks to both for the answer, but why is this the case? Both an Incandescent light bulb and a led bulb work with very basic dimmers...
