Do you need a new dimmer for led lights
Lots of people tried LED lighting when it was first available and it often produced dim, cold puddles of light.
What have been people's reactions to you switching to these lights? This is because the transformers are too overpowered for the small amount of electricity that LEDs need. In other cases, you need to replace the transformer with an LED driver. Some LED bulbs, like the Philips Master LED range, have in-built circuitry that can deal with most (but not all) transformers, so you don't have to change them. They will have a transformer either in the ceiling or light fitting. If they are low voltage (pins) it's a bit more complicated.

Even if you don't have solar panels, lighting uses a lot of power. But my electricity bill for my three-bedroom house is now £7 a month, and upgrading my lighting played a big role in that. With a bit of investigation I realised my lighting was drawing a lot of electricity. However after I bought a real-time energy meter I quickly learned that I was using a crazy amount of electricity at night - when my panels don't help. One of the reasons I switched to LED is that I have solar panels on my roof, which contribute to the electricity demand of my house during the day. Now I understand the colour I like, I generally get the right bulb each time. It's interesting that folks from colder climates tend to favour a warm light, while folks from hotter climates prefer something more white or blue. I like a warm white, much like the old-fashioned tungsten bulbs. This is measured in Kelvin (you'll find it on the packet of any light bulb). The most important lesson has been light 'temperature'.
