I've yet to see a dimmer for either CFL or LED lamps that doesn't cause a
seriously annoying flicker or strobing effect as the bulb is dimmed. That's
admittedly based on store displays, but one would think the manufacturer of
the lamp and dimmer would go to some length to show product that presents
them in the best light.
