Can I use an LED bulb to replace an incandescent bulb?

In most fixtures with a socket, an LED bulb may replace an incandescent bulb. If the bulb specified is a low voltage bulb, an LED replacement bulb will not work.

My LED bulb will not dim properly - what should I do?

For an LED bulb to be dimmable, it must be specified as dimmable and use a compatible LED dimmer switch. Please refer to the dimmer switch manufacturer's website for a list of compatible LED bulbs.

Why does the integrated LED fixture remain on (at a very low dim) when the switch is off?

This is typically caused by a feature on the light switch that requires a small amount of power. This would include a switch that has a light inside the switch that illuminates the switch at night. This small amount of power is powering the LED fixture, causing the fixture to be on at a very low light level.
