Dimmable LED electronics

Try sci.electronics.design if no one here has an answer.

All LEDs are long lasting. Decades, I think**. I wouldn't base my choice on that. If you have no dimmer, you can use any one of the 3 below except are you sure your socket is bayonet style, and that there are two contacts in the bottom of the socket? Like sewing machines use? All 3 of them are recommended for sewing machines, that have bayonet, insert and twist, mounts.

That's 3 years 24 hours a day. And if it dims, you said you don't need much light.

None of these are listed as 12V. But if they were they wouldn't owk in your fixture.

Also note that all are different wattages, so they are different bulbs and maybe different in dimmabiliity.

You know you can ask questions on the Amazon Q&A section. You can ask if it's really dimmable.

For this one, the first review said it was 12V but was mislabeled, and that it blew up when he tried it in a sewing machine, that it was meant for a car. But in the ad, it's still labeled as 110V and it's rated 4.4 out of 5. I didn't take the time to read other reviews, but I have once seen a review that was about a totally different product than what it referred to. Maybe there is a mistake somewhere, or they sent him the wrong thing (Heck, I bought a refurb computer online and they sent me the wrong model.

I doubt it. Just guessing.

YOu mean if you break it open? Even simple things have gotten amazingly complicated inside, IC's for example. Even if you broke open a dimmable and an non-d, I don't know if you can tell what's there to make the leds work and what's there to make something dimmable.

The electronics is definitely more complex - and behaves MUCH differently

Thanks, Scott. That's yet another brand I haven't heard of, but new technology tends to bring new players. I appreciate it.

I'm only using 2 LED bulbs, shaped like regular light bulbs.

They are very bright.

One is in a lamp I keep knocking over, and it doesn't break. Doesn't seem like it might. They seem more rugged than the traditional glass lightbulb.

The other is on the ceiling above my head. I'll get the brand if anyone cares.
