We have ceiling-mounted LED downlights throughout our six-year-old house. When we moved in, I got an electrician to install dimmers on some of the sets of lights. I was a bit disappointed when he said (as he was installing the dimmers) that the lights couldn’t be dimmed all the way down. They dim to only about half-way to being off.

I have just bought (from Lighting Plus) an LED pendant light bar to go above our dining table. I bought one that is said to be dimmable. I am going to do the physical mounting then get a sparkie to come and do the electrical connection and the dimmer. The instructions that come with the light fitting say “Suitable for dimming with most LED-friendly dimmers”.

I’d be grateful if anyone can advise or comment on whether I’m likely to be disappointed again that the light will only be able to be dimmed down to a (still fairly bright) limit i.e. not able to be dimmed quite low or right down. I’m thinking there are differing types of LEDs and differing types of dimmers.
