MK Base MB1523WHI 1G LED Universal Dimmer, White

I am incredibly disappointed with these LED Dimmer switches from MK. After installing them, turning the lights up to full brightness causes the LED’s to strobe and flicker. I assumed this was to do with the trim level being too high, but even after adjusting the trim to it’s lowest point, the LED’s still continue to flicker at full brightness. This is unacceptable given these are supposed to be trailing edge dimmers, and I’m using 3x Philips LED Master Series Dimmer LED lights that Philips recommend to use trailing edge dimmers.Quality wise, they feel and look nice, and the on/off click is much better than any push on/off switch you see with other LED dimmers, but overall if turning up the brightness causes the LED’s to strobe/flicker then these dimmer switches are unfit for purpose and cannot be used. Thank you for reading my review, if you found it helpful feel free to let me know below.

This dimming switch was sold as being suitable for LED lights but when I installed it, it clearly was not, the lights flickered. I checked the MK datasheet posted by an on-line vendor, it clearly claimed to be suitable for LED bulbs. I contacted MK, they advised that as this model uses leading edge technology, it is not suitable for LED bulbs. MK gave me the part number for a LED suitable switch, unfortunately I cannot find that for sale anywhere. In the days of LED light bulbs, I'm amazed that it is so difficult to buy trailing edge dimmer switches for them.
