So what happens if you use non-dimmable LEDs on a dimmer? Well, at best the bulb just won’t dim properly. But non-dimmable LEDs are only designed to be either fully powered ON or OFF, which means the circuitry inside won’t be able to handle low or pulsing current levels and will eventually become damaged.

Q. Do LED lights give off radiation?

Unlike other energy-efficient types of lighting, the LED bulb does not emit polluting radiation and therefore does not pose a health hazard. LED lighting also does not emit UV or infrared radiation, it does not contain mercury and is resistant to shocks and vibration even in a particularly cold environment.

Q. Do LED lights cause dirty electricity?

LED light bulbs most often run on direct current, which we established above is one of the largest causes for dirty electricity and EMF radiation within the home. (There are a few AC options for LED lights, which are shared later). These surges and spikes emit high amounts of EMF radiation (EMF and CFL Study).
