Hi,

Does any know if the LC2 will work with dimmable low energy light bulbs. I have had mixed answers from B&O dealers I have asked, some say no, some say yes.

I have seen on the forum that they will not work with normal low energy light bulbs (since 2003) or dimmable LED bulbs.

Anyone had any experience with this?

Thanks

Toby

I've not used an LC2 but as it was designed for traditional tungsten bulbs I think it is unlikely to work very well with a dimming compact fluorescent or similar because the controlled wattage is too low. I have in my home traditional dimmer switches controlling installations of 6 and 8 dimming CF lamps and they dim but controllability is not really very good. LED lighting is even lower wattage.
