Will I need a spcial dimmable light switch with these bulbs?

There are recommended dimmers for this bulb. However, if you do not need them to dim all the way to black and have a dimer that has an overall off switch you will most likely be OK. The problem is many dimmers just will not reduce the voltage enough for the bulb to completely go black.

Any new light dimmer switch will dim these. If you have an existing tumor switch that's old it may not Dim them to a very slight amount of light. - It could cut off with a brighter light as ours did, But, it was no big deal. These lights were the only ones I found that gave a light quality consistent with the bulbs that I previously had in my kitchen.

Only if you want to dim the bulb. If it's just going to come on and off then a regular switch will do. If you want to dim the bulb be careful to get a dimmer made for led bulbs as many dimmers don't work at such a low wattage.

No these do not work well with lights on a dimmer switch. I swapped out my dimmer switch for a regular switch in order to use these bulbs.

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.

Yes, and as far as I know just about every lighting fixture is dimmable with the right type of bulb and the right type of dimmer switch for the bulb that you have. I know these work with incandescent, CFL and LED dimmable bulbs (with a dimmer switch designed to control all three types).

Absolutely. I have eight of them installed and they are all in non-dimmable fixtures.

Yes - these bulbs are inherently less bright than traditional bulbs (due to design) -- as you would expect, old light bulbs from many years ago don't produce as much light as current bulbs... having said that, there are no special requirements with regard to dimming - any incandescent dimmer will work with these bulbs as long as it is rated for the wattage (which virtually all dimmers are... only an issue if you put a bunch on one circuit) -- I love em... and I use a dimmer All the best - George

I really don't know. I don't have any of them connected to a dimmer switch. I'm using them specifically for the bright light they produce. I wouldn't dim them myself.

That would depend on your light switches and your light bulbs this has no switches in just wires so you will need a dimmer wall switch

A dimming switch works only with a dimmable bulb. I don't believe fluorescent light bulbs are dimmable. The package the bulb came in would clearly indicate so if the bulb were dimmable. If you don't have the package, google the bulb to find out if it's dimmable.

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.....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

No. A non-dimmable bulb no matter if it's LED or CFL is still non-dimmable. To control a non-dimmable bulb with a wall switch use INSTEON ToggleLinc Relay model 2466S

Id think so because the bulbs are OK for that, but I'm not sure. You might have to find a special low watt dimmer. On the other hand the light without a dimmer is not especially bright so you might not need one.

No. They are none dimmable unless you purchase a led light that has dimming capabilitys. Even with the proper switches, the drivers for the light are not compatible .

You do not want to use the dimmer type. The switch that does not have the dimmer should work fine.

I suppose they would be dimmable. I have two settings on my range hood where I used these, low and high and that would be the same as a dimmer switch..

The dimmer switch won't work because the light have an inline convertor that controls the dimming. At least I don't think it would be recommended to use the dimmer switch with them.
