Energy Management and home automation

A number problems arise when using a "dimmable" LED lamp with an incandescent dimmer, Typically a markedly reduced dimming range, preventing true ambiance settings. Constant flickering and depending on the level of dim ,can be a bright strobe like effect or just peripheral flutter causing immense discomfort. Inconsistency with some lamps firing up before others and Visa versa creating a disco type of effect, again totally unacceptable.
These phenomena's are posing some real challenges to lighting control systems and LED manufacturers. There is growing support and pressure on LED manufacturers to supply a product into the market that is more Dimmer tolerant and one that can be dimmed across the ranges by the majority of dimming technologies.
