Sorry if this topic has been beat to death. Probably 7-8 years ago my mom bought this great torchiere that used two incandescent bulbs, that I immediately replaced with LED. Back then LED bulbs were kind of new, and these were 100W replacement. They are dimmable, but they start to flicker at lower setting. I am looking to replace them with high quality dimmable bulbs, as LED technology has much improved over the years. Looking for recommendations.
Dimmable, high CRI bulbs

It's very difficult to find the bulbs you want, a dimmer than dims smoothly, and no flicker (caused by both the dimmer switch and bulb).
I paid good money for some high CRI bulbs in a chandelier and a switch that was specifically on the list of "compatible" dimmers. Still looks like a 2am rave when dimmed below 50%.
Sorry not what you wanted to hear. But I hope you get it figured out. Other than trial and error I don't know what to recommend.
