Maybe it’s just luck with the wiring in my place, but I’m almost all-LED now. Sometimes I wonder if certain brands just play nicer with older setups...
That’s a really good point about the dimmers—those can be tricky. I’ve run into similar issues when recommending LED upgrades for clients, especially in older homes where the wiring isn’t always up to modern standards. Sometimes it’s just a matter of matching the right bulb to the fixture and making sure the dimmer is compatible.
It’s great you didn’t have too much trouble with your fixtures. In my experience, some brands really do seem to work better with legacy wiring and older sockets, though it’s not always predictable. I usually suggest bringing one or two bulbs home first and testing them out before committing to a whole box. Saves a lot of frustration if you run into buzzing or weird flickering.
It sounds like you’re almost at 100% LED, which is fantastic from both an energy-saving and design perspective. The light quality has come a long way—no more harsh blue tones unless you want them. It’s impressive how much easier it’s gotten to upgrade without major rewiring these days.
