![]() The most common requirement of any hardwired automated light switch is a neutral wire. If you'd like your LED to be dimmable, you need to do one of two things: find LED bulbs compatible with traditional dimmers, or replace your current dimming switch with a leading-edge ( LED-compatible) dimmer.Ĭonsidering this, do LED lights need a neutral? A dimmer appears to be a more complex device than a switch, so you'd expect it to be the other way around.įurthermore, do you need a special dimmer switch for LED lights? Because of their circuitry, LEDs are not always compatible with traditional dimming switches. Fortunately most new LED compatible dimmers are made for both CFLs and LEDs.Īt which point we always recommend using a dimmer, as these can work in a 2-wire system, and explain that there are no switches available that can be used without neutral. CFLs also require compatible dimmer switches. If you don't have a neutral wire, you'll have to find a 'no neutral required' dimmer.
