Does this work with a dimmer switch? We currently have a light switch dimmer installed - will this cause problems?

I have a dimmer switch attached to one fan and had no problems, just attached the fan to the wiring in the ceiling.

Yes it will cause the fan motor to run slower than it should , which will burn out the motor.

As I know it, They do work with dimmers. You will have to make sure the wiring is correct. Just an FYI, I have called Hunter on many issue, as I have 6 "only" Hunter fans, in our home. Their tech department can and will answer any/all questions you can come up with, and are more then willing to help. Hope that helps you.

Yes, you have to install a dimmer (small slide dimmer) on the switch. Ask an electrician or someone at Lowes or Home Depot. You can also get a remote, but the slide dimmer works great and costs less. The dimmer has a slight click or notch for all three speeds. My electrician installed it.

You won't need a dimmer switch because it can't be dimmer than it already is. I bought two of these and put them inside my shop, at night you can't tell they are on

I have reg. bulbs with a dimmer on my lamp. My electrician said I would need a different dimmer switch to use with LED bulbs.

Most any dimmer will "work" with a dimmable bulb, but the low priced dimmers don't dim as well. Not a smooth transition, flickering, etc.

No it does not have a dimmer switch. Really isnt needed,it gives off soft light,much like a night light does. I use red bulbs in mine and never turn them off.

I installed this using a LED lightbulb. It does dim but when you press the dimmer switch to turn off, it doesn't turn off completely. These same light bulbs are advertised as dimmable and work well with other dimmers (some specifically for LED light bulbs). However, this dimmer seems not to be completely compatible.

Most LED bulbs don't work with dimmer switches, even if they are matched. The technology isn't up to speed with them. You're better off getting halogen bulbs. I have 6 bulbs that don't work properly.

Yes this can be connected to any domestic electrical switch however the dimmer needs to be for led lights. This isn't a problem as these are readily available at any Home Depot etc. you might be lucky and find that your existing dimmer works. Beware !!!!!! Once you have installed one of these set of lights you will become absolutely addicted and you will want to do the whole house.

Usually this is because your dimmer isn't rated high enough wattage..... check the watts on the light and multiply by three..... go to the electrical supply house and they can get u a dimmer that will work with them

I'm sorry, I do not know! The switch I have it on is not a dimmer switch. I'm sure it does as long as you have a dimmer switch and bulbs that are dimmable...not all LEDs are dimmable. Hope this helps:)

not an expert, but if you put in a bulb that works with a dimmer switch it would work fine. Some new LED's won't work with dimmer switch..it shows yes or no on the LEDpackage where I shop.

No. You should not install a dimmer switch on the z-wave dimmer (dimmer on dimmer). Instead install a regular toggle switch or a momentary (push button) switch to operate the dimmer.

No it doesn't have a dimmer. And our current light switch was a dimmer but since the light is a halogen had to replace it with a non dimming one.

Hi. I haven´t try them with a dimmer switch but i cant see the reason why they would´t...

I did not use the unit with a dimmer, but it is listed as dimmable with a standard dimmer. I would just be sure you meet the minimum load the unit requires and that the lamps are listed.

Yes, you can use a dimmer switch with this item. We recommend the Zoo Med Rheostat.
