can this dimmer be used with a halogen bulb?

Some Halogens specify dimmible and some don't.............. i have had good luck with this switch & the halogens that say dimmible with some switches

I have used mine with normal incandescent bulbs and LEDs without a problem. I have not used this dimmer with a Halogen bulb but do not see that the Halogen should be any different than a normal incandescent bulb as far as the dimmer is concerned.

Most like it will ... not sure ... What I do know is that wont work on soft white light bulbls .. every time I put one on feels like am in a disco freaking things starts to flicker like crazy..

It will work with halogen bulbs, will save you money and the bulbs won't heat up that much and last longer.

I use this dimmer with halogen bulbs (Osram 41870WFL) and it works perfectly.

Yes, as long as your lamp has a two pin base. As pictured the lamp sticks up out of the lamp fixture, not horizontally like some other halogen exterior lights. I use min in a fixture that can take 100 watts, but just like the old fashioned tungsten bulbs, you don't hurt anything my using lower wattage.

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.

I'm not sure. It won't work the 3-way bulb like the lamp is designed, but it should still work as a dimmer with whatever bulb is in the lamp.

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.

Yes, a standard dimmer can be used with this fixture. We have 2 of these fixtures and both are on dimmers.

Sorry, I don't know. I love the fixture but have it in the kitchen where I don't have a dimmer switch. I've had other fixtures hooked up to dimmers by an electrician and don't see any reason why this one couldn't be. Best to check with an electrician, though.

Yes, the fixture will work with a dimmer switch. You will have to make sure that you match the dimmer switch with the type of bulb you are using. Make sure the bulb is dimmable and the switch is designed for the type of bulb...incandescent, CFL, LED.

http://www.lutron.com/en-US/Education-Training/Pages/LCE/DimmingBasics.aspxAccording to this, an incandescent dimmer should work with halogen as well, but your results may vary.

The bulb is non-dimmable according to the Plumen website and should not be used with a dimmer. http://usshop.plumen.com/products/plumen-001-screw-fitting

Yes it can be used with a dimmer switch I just installed one. You must separately purchase a GU24 Dim-able bulb (Lowes sells them) and make sure your dimmer switch is CFL compatible. If you've ever installed in house lighting fixtures before this one is no different, its very easy.

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

Yes, works great with CFL, which are what I'm using. I believe it shouldn't be a problem with LEDs as well. This switch is not a dimmer, it is 100% on or 100% off on a timer. My understanding is that some CFL and LED bulbs can not be dimmed which would be a problem if one were to use them on a dimmer switch.

yes.....as long as it is a regular on/off switch. Dimmer switches are tricky. They must be approved to use with a specific type of LED approved by the LED's manufacturer

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.

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.

Not according to my electrician, at least not with the LED fixtures that I purchased to use with these switches. I had to use 'conventional' dimmer switches, which worked fine.
