can this dimmer switch be used with dimmable LED bulbs?

!i Yes the dimmer will work, but you have to check the LED bulbs carefully. I have found dimmable bulbs like the CREE line of LEDs to work just fine. Other "dimmable LEDs" have not worked very well. Some Phillips and FEIT bulbs would blink rapidly or hum loudly.

Yes. I believe I left a negative review of this dimmer. I later learned that it wasn't the dimmer. It was these off-brand dimmable LED lamps. I've since replaced the lamps with a working LED dimmable and they work great. Be careful of what dimmable lamps you purchase. Some won't dim with this Lutron dimmer. Me? I used lamps to replace the R-20 lamps in a ceiling fan/light assembly. I do not recall the brand but can look back at my order history if anyone inquires

I would say yes and no. I'm currently using it for dimmable LEDs but on any level but high I tend to get instability. I haven't figured out if it's my LEDs or the dimmer. This is the second dimmer I've tried (the other was a different mfgr) and I had similar issues. Sorry I can't give a better answer.

If you use an incandescent bulb, I don't see why you couldn't use a dimmer switch. I don't know how a CFL or LED bulb would work with a dimmer. We really have enjoyed our light. Very pleased with it.

Hello. Yes, this light can be used with a standard dimmer switch. Please let me know if I can help in any other way. -Beth

I don't know why they would not. I haven't used these bulbs with a dimmer switch. I have flood light on one, but I have used a dimmer switch owith small, regular, decorative bulbs in a chandelier.

Dimmers affect only the bulbs and not fixtures. If your switch is a dimmer it will be for incandescent or flourescent lamps. You can install dimmable or non-dimmable LED lamps.

Yes, this dimmer, and in fact all dimmers, will work with dimmable LED lights. It just won't work well. There are a number of drawbacks to using a standard dimmer with LED lights, including the light not getting as dim as it could and not lighting-up if the dimmer is set too low. I don't *think* it has any effect on the lifetime of the led bulb. If you want to control dimmable LED lights (and dimmable CFLs) then you need a HID dimmer to rectify the shortcomings of a standard dimmer. I personally have only standard dimmers in my now totally LED lit home, but I will slowly be swapping out the old dimmers for new HIDs.

I am using the previously installed dimmers meant to work with incandescent bulbs. The dimming range of LED bulbs is not as extensive as when using incandescent bulbs.

Yes...I have added a dimmer switch to mine. Just be sure your get the correct dimmer switch. Not all dimmer switches will work with LED fixtures.

Don't believe so for the bulb itself. Only if the switch is a dimmer switch would you have a dimmable item. By the way, these bulbs are not worth the money and trouble, they burn out very quickly. I want to find a different lightbulb source!

Yes, the wall switch will turn the led lights on and off and then the dimmer can be used just for dimming. That being said the dimmer has to be wired between the light switch and the led lights.

Probably not. In my experience, when you try to use a standard dimmer on "dimmable" LED lights, it does not work. The wattage is different. Usually if it is a group of lights they cannot all be LED; you have to put one or two incandescent lights in the circuit so the dimmer works.Hope this helps.

It depends on which bulbs you are using. If incandescent, dimmable LED, or dimmable fluorescent bulbs, then answer would be "Yes". If non-dimable fluorescent or LED, then the answer would be "No".

I don't see why not. This is just a switch with a fancy timer. Of course it is not a dimmer but I don't think there would be a problem with contolling a dimmer. JMHO

Touch dimmer is just like any other dimmers. As long as your dimmer switch is specifically CFL/LED dim compatible, then you should be fine.

hello thank you fro the question and interest. Yes this will work on a dimmer switch and the color are darker when not lit

Compatibility with dimmer is dependent upon the dimmer switch itself. You'll need to look at the specifications on the models you're interested in to make that determination.

Yes, if you put in a dimmer switch. But you can't use florescent bulbs, dimmers don't work with those.
