Would this work as a dimmer for a 1260 watt chandelier? The chandelier is hung as a swag lamp.

It probably should. Providing that the lamp is only using old-school tungsten filament light bulbs. As this unit drops the supply voltage its output becomes increasingly "noisy" as in: it puts out a square wave. If you need voltage reduction with a nice sine wave preserved, get a variable transformer, the sort made to control the speed of small motors, like the ones found in wood working shops.

The cover is only about 1/4 inch in depth. If the dimmer sticks out farther than that it won't work. If it doesn't then it should be fine.

Sorry my previous answer was incorrect as I remember a new product that just might work, but your dimmer function might not be usuable. This LED unit is comparable to a 25watt light: https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/114212/LED-G92020E.html

Yes it will but this bulb does not produce a lot of light. It is mostly use for cosmetic, it has a nice look and feel. I am afraid that you will defeat the purpose of the dimmer on that kind of bulb as the light it deliver is quite low anyway.

Yes if you are using a incadescent lamp. I would recommend putting the dimmer on the 120v side as they are easy to come by. The 120v electronic (Triac/Diac) are inexpensive.

I'd think so. I can't imagine why not. I think the only issue with the dimmer would be the bulbs. LEDs for example can be very finicky about the dimmers.

No. You need a dual dimmer that has two 300 watt circuit capacity. toal of 600w rating. try this oneLeviton 6628-W SureSlide 300W Per Circuit Incandescent or 300VA Magnetic Low Voltage Dual slide-to-OFF Dimmer, Single Pole, White

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.

Sure, if you are good with electrical stuff I see no reason why that wouldn't work and sounds like a good idea to me. You'd just have to splice into the existing wires, perhaps pre-tin, butt splice, and using shrink tubing. The dimmer is fed low voltage since it is inline with the transformer output, so not sure if a low voltage style dimmer is req'd, or if you can get by with a standard 120 VAC one (that part I have no idea).

The dimmer is rated at 24 watts, so it's hard to imagine that your light would draw more power than that, but if you can verify the wattage of your light to make sure it is 24 watts or less that would clinch it I think.

Yes this dimmer switch will work well. Pay strict attention to how you remove and be sure you replace the same direction you took it out.

Yes. Mine is on a dimmer and it works just fine. I love this light and strongly recommend it.

hello thank you fro the question and interest. Yes this will work on a dimmer switch and the color are darker when not lit
1463675
Yes it will work with a dimmer but its a decorative bulb but not real brite

I'm not an electrician but with a dimmable bulb and a dimmable light switch yes it would work fine. The fixture has nothing to do with it being dimmable or not. Hope that Helps. But it is a GREAT fixture. I have several of them outside.

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.

If your bulb is standard incandescent then this dimmer will work fine on any setting of the lamp. Make sure the bulb maximum wattage is less than the Lutron rating. You may just want to set the lamp to its brightest and use the Lutron to set the actual light level.
