Hi Folks ; We have installed new range hood that has a 2-bulb 3-step dimmer. Broan manual says to install PAR 20 halogen / R16 incandescent -

- I'm told that LED even dimmable will not work. True / False ? R16 incandescant seems un available .. Halogen is hot & harsh ...

Any other suggestions are welcome ... 2 40 watt appliance lights might do for now ...

What did you end up installing? Did it work well? I have same issue except 2 step dimmer.
