Re: FIRST Fundraiser: Selling LED "Lightbulbs"

Anyone know how well LED light bulbs work with dimmer switches?

I just replaced a bunch of the wall switches in my house with dimmer switches. From what I have found CFL lights don't seem to work well with the dimmer switches. Some say they work but they buzz and hum loudly when they are dimmed. Others just don't work unless the dimmer is almost all the way up. I would love to replace all the incandescent bulbs in my house with new more efficient technology but if I can't dim them down it sort of defeats the point of the dimmers. Is this a selling point of LED light bulbs or will they suffer the same issues?
