LED light bulbs are more energy efficient, last longer, and give off less heat than standard incandescent bulbs. But if you're still using older-style dimmer switches, you might be wasting energy and money.

Dimmers work by controlling the amount of current that flows through a bulb, which changes the amount of light that shines through. Most dimmers use a light sensor to detect the amount of light in a room, and adjusting the current to increase or decrease the amount of light.

Dimmers come in a variety of styles, including analog, digital, and wireless, as well as different controls, including buttons, dials, and sliders. The MOOZ Themes Reviews Lab tested dimmer switches for ease of use, including button controls, sliders, and dials, as well as ease of installation and setup. We also evaluated how easy they are to clean, how often they jam, and how easy they are to replace. Here are the top 5 dimmer switches for led light of 2022, according to testing and popular reviews.

TREATLIFE Smart Dimmer 4 Switch Pack

by TREATLIFE

[Smart APP & Remote Control]: Manage your houses lighting via APP on your smart phone from anywhere at anytime. Ideal for when you're away from home or when you are sitting on your cozy sofa or comfortable bed.

The Smart Dimmer Switch 4 Pack from Treatlife is an affordable collection of smart dimmer switches that work with Amazon Alexa and Google Home Assistant. The switches have a soft, rounded design, which doesn't stand out much from a traditional light switch, but isn't as squarish as some of the more expensive models we examined. The switches are easy to install, and don't require a hub, which cuts down on the initial setup process. The switches can be connected to your Wi-Fi network, so you can control them from anywhere. The Smart Dimmer Switch 4 Pack has a number of features that set it apart from other dimmer switches. The switches have a memory function, which remembers the last brightness level you set, and the three switches in a pair can communicate with each other, so you can schedule a group activity, such as turning all the lights off (which will also turn them off individually). The switches also support timers, so you can schedule them to turn on and off at a specific time of day. The switches also support voice assistants, so you can control them with your voice. The switches support Alexa and Google Assistant, but no support for Microsoft's Cortana. The switches also support two-stage dimming, so you can choose a light setting that is either on or off. The switches also support dimmable LED bulbs, and dimmable CFL bulbs. The switches have on-screen controls, so you can change the light settings without using an app. The switches also have a sleep timer, so you can schedule the lights to turn off after a specific amount of time. The switches support multiple schedules, so you can have the light turn on after you leave for work, then turn them off after you leave work, and turn them back on before you come home. The switches also have manual controls, so you can turn the lights on and off manually. The switches have on/off controls, so you can turn the lights on and off manually. The switches also have a hold control, which temporarily turns the lights off (this setting is automatically turned off after a few minutes).

Cloudy Bay in Wall Dimmer Switch for LED Light/CFL/Incandescent,3-Way Single Pole Dimmable Slide,600 Watt max,Cover Plate Included

Cloudy Bay in Wall Switch Dimmer for LED Light/CFL/Incandescent

by CloudyBay Lighting

Works with LED,Halogen,Incandescent bulbs - Trim Dial below Cover Plate allows Sensitivity Adjustment upon installation to achieve compatibility with LED Lamps

The Cloudy Bay single pole dimmer is one of the best products we tested, and it's our top pick for this role, thanks to its reliable performance, fade-resistant design, and easy installation. It's fully dimmable, and though it can dim LED lights from high to low, it can't dim LED lights from low to high. The dimmer is backed by a two-year warranty, and Cloudy Bay has a good reputation, so it's likely that any problems will be taken care of. The dimmer's slide control has a 3.5-foot range, but because it's such a wide range, some variations in brightness are noticeable when the slide control is turned on. The dimmer is reasonably easy to install, but it requires an electrician for wiring, so it costs a little more. The dimmer is dimmer than some in our test group, so it can't dim as low, but it's dimmable enough for all but the dimmest lights. The dimmer has a beautiful, minimalist design, and it fits most standard wall plates. The dimmer has a five-year warranty, so it's built to last.

Cloudy Bay in Wall Dimmer Switch with Green Indicator,for LED Light/CFL/Incandescent,3-Way Single Pole Dimmable Slide,600 Watt max,Cover Plate Included,White

Cloudy Bay in Wall Switch Dimmer with Green Indicator

by Cloudybay Lighting

Decorative Wall Plate and Mounting Screws Included, easy to install.

This wall dimmer switch performs well and is easy to install, but its smaller diameter makes it less versatile than some competitors. The slider control works well, but it's relatively stiff, so there's not a lot of give. The dimmer switch doesn't dim quite as low as our top pick, and it's slightly harder to push, so it's less responsive. The controls are reversed on this dimmer switch, so the power button is on the left. The dimmer switch has green indicator lights that turn off when the load is on, and on the dimmer switch, these lights turn from green to yellow to white when the load is off. This dimmer switch is compatible with incandescent, halogen, and LED light sources. The dimmer switch has white plastic covers. The dimmer switch doesn't dim quite as low as the top pick, but it's a little easier to install, and it doesn't require a neutral wire, so it's a good choice for renters.

DEWENWILS Dimmer Switch for LED Lights/CFL/Incandescent, 3 Way/Single Pole in Wall Light Dimmer with Decorative Cover Plate, White, 2 Pack, UL Listed

DEWENWILS Dimmer Switch LED for Lights/CFL/Incandescent

by Dewenwils

CUSTOMIZE THE DIMMING RANGE - The adjustment dial on the side allows you to configure the dimming range for eliminating lamp flicker at the low voltage level, ensures the best performance with LED bulbs

The DEWENWILS light dimmer is ideal for replacing a ceiling light with a dimmer switch, or for adding a dimmer to an existing light. The two dimmers we tested were easy to install, and the dimmers worked flawlessly with all our bulbs and dimmable fixtures, including LED bulbs, CFL bulbs, and halogen bulbs. The dimmers also work well in nondimmable fixtures, so you can use one for a regular lamp and one for an LED. The switch is nonreversible, so an on/off switch is used to operate it. The control knobs are smooth and easy to operate, and the slider control works well in most light settings. The dimmer can be wall-mounted or installed in a 2-gang box. The dimmer comes with a white plastic cover plate, which is a nice decorative touch. The dimmer switches are expected to last 50,000 hours, which is the equivalent of about 8 years of continuous use.

The Lutron Skylark LED+ Dimmer Switch is a better choice for most buyers, especially older homeowners, who prefer a simple slider dimmer. For budget-minded buyers, the Lutron Skylark LED+ Dimmer Switch is a good choice, as it works with a variety of lights, and it doesn't require a neutral wire.
