Dimming Performance

Minimum brightness from off: <1% Minimum brightness from max: <1%

Smoothness of Dimming

When used with trailing edge dimmers this lamp performed fairly well. The profile was in general good with no big steps or jumps in the output range. The lamp flickered when on at all levels below approximately 7% of maximum output. There was also a noticeable shimmer while fading although this was limited to the bottom third of the output range.

Audible Noise

No audible noise when used with any dimmer

Notes

This lamp cannot be recommended for use with leading edge dimmers because when tested with one fitting it does not turn off.
