Not all LED lights are dimmable, some manufactures still offer versions that are non-dimmable which cost slightly less. In the near future we predict that all LED lights will be dimmable as standard, just like incandescent and halogens are. For now, this is something that also needs to be checked, make sure your LED lights are dimmable.
Why LED Lights Flicker & How To Solve This Problem
Dimmer switches struggle to detect that there is any load on the circuit and flickering or strobing happens. With a programmable dimmer switch, you can trim off this and delete it from existence. This won’t allow you to dim the lights to a certain level of say 1-20% but it will solve your problem.
Some minimum load or flickering issues can be solved by putting a resistive load on the circuit. One way of testing this before ordering one is to replace one of the LEDs on the circuit with a halogen. If the halogen stabilises the load, then the resistive load should wor
