LED compatible remote fan dimmer (lights, Lowes, wall, hang)

[jaydez]

I recently switched the lights on my fan to dimmable LEDs. They keep burning out but Lowes is letting me exchange them. I did some research and it turns out the remote control unit I have is only compatible with incandescent lights. It is a Lutron dimmer that I installed on the fan in 2008. It has the wall buttons where the old switch was.

Does anyone know if of a remote dimmer that is compatible with LED bulbs? I really don't want to go back to this light drawing 120W while it's on.

Most "universal" dimmers are compatible with LED bulbs. But you have to have DIMMABLE LED bulbs- which sounds like your problem.

The bulbs are dimmable. I looked up the specs for the dimmer unit and the specs say compatible with incandescent and halogen only. You need a certain kind of dimmer for LEDs or they will flicker occasionally and burn out quickly.

Maestro makes all sorts of controls for dimmable LED's. I'd check your favorite Big Box store.......or Amazon.

That's not a "universal" dimmer-
