ᐅ Which light bulbs to use – only LEDs or others as well?

Hello,
I bought a pendant lamp for the dining table with 5 sockets (the 5 cords are wrapped around a branch).
The technical specifications are attached.
Now I want to buy light bulbs for it.
We had a problem with LED bulbs and our dimmer in the past. That means LED bulbs don’t work.
Did I buy the wrong lamp? Does it only work with LED bulbs?
Or can I also use other bulbs (if I can find some)?
If we can use regular bulbs: what wattage per bulb would you recommend for the dining table?
Currently, an old lamp with 48W halogen bulbs is installed. It could be a bit brighter, as it is dimmable after all.

Well, look at that, a dimmer 🙂 It might not be in the usual installation position, but it does its job.

But since you mention it: in the bathroom we have a proper rotary dimmer... no idea why the electrician made that distinction there 🙁
Probably just because it was available. It’s like car manufacturing—whatever arrives on the assembly line gets installed.

A quick dummy question:
“No dimmer at the switch, but this special ‘dimmer’ function in the electrical panel” gave me an idea:

Is it also possible to do something similar with a “dusk switch” or astro function? To have the outdoor lights without a dusk sensor automatically turn on and off via a relay with an astro function?

Is there a relay with a “timer” function?

Or am I overcomplicating things now? :o

Yvonne, the fox costs about 100 with a photo sensor. K.
