    PD-6WCL minimum load for LED

    Hi everyone,I have 2 PD-WCL dimmers in 2 bedrooms. Both wall boxes lack of neutral wire. In one bedroom, everything is fine. In the other one, with the same type of led bulbs the light turns on just 50%. If I leave only one bulb is turning on fully, but first, it flickers for a minute. Then, I have used a halogen bulb and it worked just fine.I have bought a 30W/3000K LED fixture and is not turning on at all. I assume because is not reaching the load threshold. I checked the Lutron specs for PD-6WCL, here https://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocu...369987_ENG.pdf but there is nothing related to the LED threshold. 1. Any insight on this, why there is no treshold for LED, what would be the minimum load?2. Is it any work around? 3. If I replace the dimmer with PD-6ANS-WH switch, is it any better?4. I have found something about a resistor - Lutron LUT-MLC is it woth to try?Thank you

    Generally it is one compatible LED bulb. "Compatible" is the catch. One LED may work while a similar bulb from another manufacturer, or even the same manufacturer may not. There are no standards for the manufacture of LED bulbs.
