<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class=""><p class="">Sorry I can't help with specific models, but my guess is that
most dimmers will work. They will probably buzz annoyingly due to
the mod sine, and probably die a relatively earlier death from the
extra heat. That being said they could last several years, and
reduce total load. Let us know what you find out. I'd probably
just grab a couple from the local supply and play with them. I do
quite a bit of Mad scientist work here. <br class="">

<pre wrap="" class="">HI All,
I\u2019m asking the group for a very obscure piece of information.
I have someone with an very old Trace 2012 mod wave form inverter and wants to use their new LED bulbs with a dimmer
Does anyone know of any LED/dimmer combos that will work?
thanks in advance
