LIFX® LED bulbs work without damage or functional issues when used on a dimmer
circuit with the dimmer set to maximum. If the dimmer is set lower than
maximum, the power supply control provides protection. When using a dimmer
circuit we recommend keeping the dimmer set to maximum, to provide the most
efficient power to the lamp.
For the GU10 downlight please ensure the bulb is used in a VERTICAL MOUNTING
POSITION ONLY.
