Something to do with resistance?
IDK, call an exorcist?

Or maybe just buy a different dimmer. BUt I don't want this to get too expensive. It's the principle of the thing. These LEDs have to pay for themselves, otherwise the whole thing is just stupid and wasteful. |

Maybe not so much with resistance and more because the circuit will draw much more current even with just one incandescent lamp - therefore overcoming the usual dimmer-switch issues?

Well, it's the dimmer switch. I swapped out the dimmer for a regular switch, and they work fine without an incandescent bulb in the mix.
These bulbs flicker a little bit. Apparently the larger filament LED bulbs have capacitors on the tiny circuit board in the base to smooth out the flickering, but these candelabra bulbs are so small, there isn't room in the base for capacitors. It doesn't bother me, but Mrs. Glatt has commented on it a few times. So these LED bulbs may be short lived in this house. We'll see how it plays out. But I won't be buying a new dimmer until I know the LEDs are here to stay. |

We've had problems with replacing incandescent bulbs with LEDs in cars. Had to add resisters. Of course a byproduct of resisters is heat which has to be dealt with safely.

I think this line's mostly filler.

I wonder if we'll get a widely-used DC light socket standard, so the AC/DC converter can be in the light fixture, rather than in every single bulb. All of the problems with LED bulbs are because every bulb needs a wall wart.

I doubt it, by the time LEDS are that common the industry will says we've already designed and produced working bulbs. So anything else would be non-standard and cut into profits... I mean confuse the public.
However I suppose once the market is saturated except for a few hippies in the mountains, that could be the next big thing. We have seen the future and bought our congressman now.
