A dimmer is a device connected to a light fixture and used to lower the brightness of the light. By changing the voltage waveform applied to the lamp, it is possible to lower the intensity of the light output.
Although there are applications where dimmable LED and dimmable CFL bulbs will operate with an incandescent dimmer, in general, an incandescent dimmer will provide inconsistent performance when used with dimmable CFL and dimmable LED bulbs, making a Universal Dimmer the preferred option. A major issue is in the design of each bulb type. The incandescent bulb by nature represents a simple resistive load with a linear response to the dimmer set point. LED and CFL loads by design are quite complex compared to the incandescent bulb and this presents technical challenges to an incandescent dimmer. In the end, Universal Dimmers are all about making it easier to seamlessly control lighting levels with your choice of bulb.
*NB* Remember, for best results bulbs must be labelled “Dimmable”
