Leviton is proud to be a leader in the electrical industry by using the latest technology to develop products thatenhance daily living and help save energy. Sharing our knowledge and experience with you is an important part ofour brand promise to put our customers at the center of everything we do.This report was developed to help you understand how to best pair today’s LED bulbs with Leviton dimmers so youcan locate the best combination to meet your lighting needs.LED vs Incandescent BulbsIncandescent bulbs are rapidly being phased out in favor of longer-lasting,more energy efficient LED bulbs. Because their circuitry is more complex,not all LED bulbs will dim smoothly, and some may present otherinconsistencies such as flickering, slow start-up, limited dimming rangeor inconsistent illumination.Compatibility is KeyIn order to achieve the best performance, it is important to ensure that theLED bulb and dimmer you select are compatible when used together.Existing dimmers in older homes are likely “Incandescent only” dimmers –installed before LED bulbs became mainstream. Incandescent dimmers arenot rated for use with LED bulbs. Leviton recommends only using LED bulbswith dimmers that are rated to control an LED load.Testing for CompatibilityLeviton is dedicated to providing our customers with the best experience when usingLeviton dimmers. We work closely with LED bulb manufacturers and have a dedicatedteam in our in-house lab that conducts ongoing testing of the latest LED bulbs/fixtureswith our LED dimmers to determine the best combinations.This test program is designed to meet or exceed the latest testing criteria for evaluating performance ofLED bulbs with Leviton dimmers. We measure a number of factors including dimming range and irregularfunctionality such as flickering or shimmering, slow start up, noise (humming/buzzing) levels and inconsistentillumination. The testing is ongoing and results are updated regularly in our user friendly LED CompatibilitySelector Tool available at Leviton.com/led.Understanding the Rating SystemOur ratings will help you determine which bulbs/fixtures have been tested and approved as compatible withLeviton LED dimmers. All results listed within this report are deemed compatible. The bulbs that display anasterisk (*) after the model# are those that had exceptional performance and compatibility beyond our criteria.
