    Dimmable LED lightbulbs - worth it?

    I've read lots of conflicting information on the internet about dimmable LED lightbulbs. Some people have said that even if a supplier claims that a LED lightbulb is dimmable using it with a dimmer can cause issues, such as it emitting a buzzing noise, flickering and it shortens the life of the...

    Max Wattage on a Circuit with Newer Bulbs

    An electrician once told me that I should always be careful not to exceed too much wattage on each circuit in a house by replacing light bulbs with brighter ones that are of higher wattage (e.g. don't replace all 60W bulbs with 75W or 100W bulbs). However, with the newer CFL and LED replacement...

    G9 LED bulbs... they're all dim! What gives??

    Hi there! I just got my first two lamps that use G9 LED bulbs. Very frustratingly, it's almost impossible to find bulbs within my criteria, which I really didn't expect to be the case. I am looking specifically for 2700K warm white (i.e. very warm) and more than 5W. All I can seem to find are...
