Can dimmer switches be used with all types of bulbs?
Not all dimmer switches are compatible with all types of bulbs. Compatibility depends on both the dimmer and the bulb type:
- Incandescent and Halogen Bulbs: Generally compatible with most dimmer switches.
- LED Bulbs: Require dimmer switches specifically designed for LEDs.
- Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs): Not all are dimmable; those that are require compatible dimmer switches.
- Smart Bulbs: Often have built-in dimming capabilities controlled via apps, and may not need traditional dimmer switches.
