The important thing with electronic switches is how much current they pass to work the switch where no neutral is used, and if they will react with any current limiting devices in the bulbs, the standard G9 bulb is very small,
there is not much room inside the bulb to house smoothing capacitors or leakage resistors, and I had a real problem with not turning fully off, and a shimmer when turned on, a load capacitor
got around the will not turn off, but to start with had to use one quartz bulb to stop the shimmer when on, the G9 bulbs when using quartz NEED a cover over the bulb so if they shatter white hot bits don't land on the carpet, and to stop harmful rays from the quartz bulb, removing the covers means the whole lamp looks very different, so although these
LED bulbs removed the problem with shimmer and not switching off, the covers will not fit over the bulbs, so the whole chandelier looks very different. Lucky my wife likes the larger bulb, but the wattage is not marked, and the lumen not marked, enter G9-69SMD-5730 the results seem to show 12 watt each, but since unmarked they should not be sold in the UK, and not seen any for sale on the high street. I am sure the original advert said 6 watt?
The 5 in the chandelier are bright, and in the bedroom really do need dimming, so wife has three smart connected lamps so she can have dimmer lighting if required.
One bulb failed, so I had a look what was inside, the current is limited by a simple capacitor, and also smoothed by a capacitor nearly as big as the smaller bulb, although nothing on the packaging I am sure they would dim, but there must be some inrush with that capacitor so likely for the 5 would need a 5 to 100 watt dimming switch.
The landing presented a problem in many ways, down stairs switch not handy, and need in the main a lot of light, but to go to bathroom at night the amount of light would likely wake people so also wanted low light to go to bathroom. My wife's cure was this
chandelier, I have separated the centre and outer lights, and fitted this
relay, so main switch works centre lamp, and outers use zigbee, so can use voice commands to turn on inner, outer or all, but can also use wall switch, so as well as being able to dim the centre lamp and change it's colour, we also have loads of light when required. And it looks good
with just centre lit.
I was always told as a kid there is more than one way to kill a cat, and there are many ways to control lighting today, on the odd time my wife will even use a wall switch, but not very often.
