Recommended LED Soffit lights?

[Blackbird]

Can anyone recommend good LED soffit lights that are dimmable with Insteon dimmer switches.  I see some reviews on amazon where they require specific dimmers otherwise they flicker.  

Thanks

My electrician installed TCP LEDs in our soffits and they dim perfectly with Insteon dimmers plus they look great.  Pics below are for the 3000K flood but in the soffits he used 2700K spots of the same brand.

Thanks.  Sorry I guess I should have mentioned the I was looking at the flat built in kind that has no bulb.

I don't know if you're asking about an indoor soffit or outdoor soffit, and either way I have no specific product to recommend.  However if outdoor I would absolutely use some type of RGBW fixture and control it via some other method.

The best thing to do is buy a bulb you want to use and test it with a dimmer. I've found that bulb compatibility can change even within the same mfg. lineup. I've purchased bulbs that worked perfectly and had buzzing with later purchases. Ditto for those that didn't work in the past. 

If you find one that you like and it works, i recommend buying a few extra. This way, if you need to replace one down the road, you'll know it'll still be compatible and the light it puts out will be the same as your existing (yes, this changes too).  

This isn't unique to insteon but all dimmers/bulbs out there.

I too have seen the same model  LED bulbs act differently as the main model number was the same but the manufacturer changed the design in later produced units.

I second the recommendation you should just test the bulb with your specific configuration directly.

There are many Insteon dimmer revisions, all addressing different issues. Some of them I recall related to specific flickering conditions. You may or may not have the revision that addresses the flickering issues. Bulbs themselves have specific characteristics that cause them to flicker on one circuit but not another. It's beyond my pay grade. I can just share with you my personal experience. 

I'd just go out and get the bulbs and see if they do the trick or not. If not, hopefully you've purchased them from a retailer that has a good return policy for situations like this.

All of my dimmer switches, dim fine with led bulbs.  I just want to know if any of you have similar lights and if there are any issues.  Also curious about how they would be in the winter.  I'm in canada
