Do they work in track lighting that has a dimmer switch?

Short Answer: Yes. These are halogen bulbs, and unlike compact fluorescents or LEDs, the light output can be managed with a rheostat (dimmer).

I don't know Nancy--I would think they could. I use mine strictly to illuminate my flower beds at night. They work perfectly for that purpose and the price per bulb is fantastic. Richard

They will work in track lighting with a dimmer switch. The reason why is they are not LED lights, they are Halogen, which you can dim.

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.

I use them in ceiling fan lights, desk lamps and floor lamps. They are not dimmable and cannot be used in lamps with 3 levels of brightness switches.

Yes and no. Limited levels of dimming at low levels. At a certain point they just shut off. It's decent though. Though if you have any halogen bulbs in the track, they will be much dimmer at the same level.

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

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.

My track lighting is on 110v but the bulbs are installed in a 12 volt transformer/bulb holder (reduces the 110 volts running through the track to 12 volts for the bulbs). I have installed at least 10 of these Great Eagle LED lights on the same track. Much cooler and less wattage than the 50 watt lights they replaced. These LED bulbs give off a good amount of light too.

Absolutely. I replaced four halogen bulbs in a track light (Halo fixtures with individual transformers) with the Great Eagle bulbs.We replaced the old style flip switch with a new Lutron dimmer designed for compact flourescents and LED lights. We are very happy with the results.The output of the great eagle lights is "warmer" in color temperature than other LED lights, but acceptable - certainly for the price.

Ronnie,Yes! I use them with a dimmer switch and they work great. I have had no problems.Gary Moore

Not dimmable. If the socket is correct they will work at full briteness only

I don't know because I haven't tried. They probably aren't bright enough to put on a dimmer unless the angle of the installation is directly in eye sight. But if that were the case I would install the cover that diverts the light downward

Yes, but they will have to be LOW-VOLTAGE (12V) MR16 LED bulbs. The fixture uses transformers in the track heads to convert line voltage to 12V--designed for 50W 12V MR16 halogen bulbs. You could use low-voltage MR16 LED bulbs, but, if you really want to use LED, you could just get a regular (line-voltage) track kit and put LED bulbs (e.g. PAR20, PAR30, etc.) in it.

I am using these bulbs as an energy-efficient replacement for dimmable incandescents. They work with the dimmers that were in place (brand, I believe, is Lutron). I would hesitate only because of that word "any" in your question.

I use LUTRON C.L Dimmers. They work for all types of bulbs. If there is buzzing with these dimmer switches then there is a problem with the bulb and you should return it.

Yes, the dimmer switch on my freightliner works the same as always. These are some really bright bulbs, so if you have any incandescent bulbs left in your dash, they will be completely dark before you get to a reasonable low output level for the LED lights.

I don't have them in a dimmer-enabled switch, but my guess would be not dimmable.
