Advice - Opinion LEDspot works best with RGBW dimmer ?

I have a RGBW dimmer module (working on 12V) to drive a couple of spotlights.

 

The dimming level (from 0 to 100%) with a Halogen spotlamp (50W) is perfect, but with LED spotlight it isn't that great, as i ordered and tested a couple ones from Aliexpress! (LEDspot with COB led build in - dimmable)

 

1. In your opinion and advice which type - brandname - wattage LEDspot works BEST with the RGBW controller from

    Fibaro ?

 

2. Referring to Question number 1, is the dimming level still great with a single or twin LED-spots which works BEST

    for you?

I know this is not an answer to your question, but it's related. I understand the "halogen" part because for them it doesn't matter if it's 12 V AC or 12 V DC. I think "12 V LED spots" that replace halogen lamps are designed for 12 V AC. On the other hand, LED STRIPS are designed for 12 V DC. I have strips, and they dim from 0 to 100 % on an RGBW. I also own a few 12 V LED (halogen replacement) spots and they are fine on an FGD-212 connected to a Osram Halotronic (designed for AC so not compatible with strips). I have been tempted to try my spots on a RGBW, just to see how they behave, but I have so far resisted...

Maybe someone else knows the answer?

    I can setup a test with a Philips Warm Glow 6.5 W GU5.3 this week. Let me know if you're still interested.
