Review on πŸ”† Cree Lighting Equivalent Dimmable Daylight: Unleash Brightness and Versatility in Any Space by Steve Fields

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Multiple bulbs will not work with dimmer

Plenty of light; excellent daytime color; no buzz. I have a 5 light dimmer. When I replaced one of the bulbs with CREE it worked fine. When I replaced the second with this CREE bulb, the bulbs started blinking. Update I bought a different brand (Sunlite) 100 watt daylight bulb that was advertised as dimmable and the same thing happened! In other words, a CREE and a Sunlight work great together. But two CREEs or two Sunlights are not. Strange. This is due to the different "LED drivers". This is the electronic circuit board in the base of the lamp. If I don't replace my dimmer and buy all new lightbulbs that are certified to work with that dimmer, I guess I'll be stuck in trial and error. If you search "LED and dimmers" "google", you will find articles that discuss technical aspects.
