They are just made by a rectifier an a great number of LED's in series. Definitely not as good as an old lamp, but it works. Its working better when keeping one old-fashioned bulb in the system, it works like a stabilizing load. | |

| Dec 14, 2011 at 13:25 | comment | added | Antony Scott | there must be a difference if I can buy a non-dimmable LED lamp for £5-£10 but a dimmable one if £20-£25 | |
| Dec 14, 2011 at 12:55 | comment | added | Tester101 | I think this is more of a manufacturing question. It has to do with supply vs. demand, as well as the cost of manufacturing, design, research & development, and quality control. As these lights become more widely used, and manufacturing techniques improve the cost will go down. | |
