Be it a tungsten or LED A19 bulb, both are usable with a dimmer switch.

However LED bulbs require special dimmers to work correctly. Normal dimmers, those used for regular tungsten (incandescent) bulbs, use the resistive load of the bulb to allow dimming. Most LED bulbs require other methods to dim the bulb. One stop gap fix to use a regular dimmer is to add a small wattage bulb to the LED bulb circuit. That adds a resistive load to fool the older dimmer.

The best option for dimmable LEDs is to ensure you have a dimmer that specifically states it works with dimmable LEDs.

How do you identify LED light bulbs?

To identify LED light bulbs, look for labeling that indicates "LED" on the packaging or the bulb itself.

Additionally, observe the bulb's shape and base type, as these can vary (e.g., A19, GU10). Finally, consider the color temperature, which is often displayed in Kelvin (K) to indicate whether the light is warm or cool.
