You need to carefully match the dimmer to the lamp or lamps. Some dimmers just won't dim below 10w, that's less than most single LED bulbs. I carry the linked ones because they cover most of these situations. People struggle to program them but it's timing the on off and recognising they have entered the programming mode.

The light in our nursery had been plaguing us for a while. It had a dimmer switch but it was flickering a lot, with a few different (dimmable) bulbs tried.
I bought a new dimmer switch after reading that some old dimmers don't work well with newer bulbs.
That didn't work either and eventually the light stopped working altogether.
I replaced it with a £1.50 two gang from Wilko and now it works fine.
Could there be an issue, other than the dimmer switch itself, which means I can use a normal switch but not a dimmer?
