Summary
5 out of 5
5 Star Dimming Rating
The Megaman 6W GU10 got the best res-ultsacross the board and achieved ‘5 Star Dimming’.
Megaman and Lightwave RF are now part of the same company. Both products have been redesigned to work better together, which givesthem a slight advantage.
The most universal dimmer switch was the Varilight V-Pro which was able to dim every LED light successfully.
