Hello peepz. I was wondering, What type of dimmer do you prefer (besides the Fibaro dimmer) It needs only to be able to dim a regular lightbulb or dimmable led lights. \*(edit: it has to be an built-in dimmer, or something like, but **not** a powersocket) - reliability - stability - range distance Greetz ---

Just depends on what you want, I have a kaku just for have a e27 filament dimmed in the corner. Almost never changes. Three gu10 tradfri to light out different objects from a 3 way spot. These dim without a dimmer. And am verry happy to have 4x filament above the dinning table with a big knob on the wall from the Ecodim [https://apps.athom.com/app/nl.EcoDim](https://apps.athom.com/app/nl.EcoDim) ---

hi, yes i wasnt clear about it, it has to be a sortkind of a built-in dimmer and not a powersocket. de powersuply is just a regular 220v cable into a contact box, and not via a powersocket. ---

U will get all personal opinions about this. My personal favorite is the Fibaro, others will say other brands. What’s the problem with the Fibaro’s besides the price? ---

i have no problems with Fibaro. its more for knowledge. i have to switch something outside, inside a metal case, about 5 meters away from homey. so the different personal experience from the users is more then welkom. reliability stability range distance are some of the things i would like to learn about different brands
