Do you need to buy special LED dimmers to use LED dimmable bulbs? One of the reviews indicated his did not did dim properly because of improper dimmers.

I did not change my dimmer and they dim reasonably well. Unlike incandescent lights they do not get warmer as they dim so the dimmed state is not the most attractive. Often the problem is that the current draw is too low for the dimmer to work; I have two of these lights on one circuit and have no problem. I did not try with just one.

I did not use mine with a dimmer. I used them in can lights in my kitchen. However the answer M. Thiel gave makes sense. The bulbs don't get hot at all and that's why I like them.

My dimmer is approximately 20 years old and I have not changed it. It seems to work fine and will dim until the bulbs go out. I have (4) in recessed cans on this dimmer.

There are conflicting comments here on dimmability. Dimmability, meaning they can be dimmed with a dimmer, not that they come equipped w a dimmer! One comment says they failed to dim with a dimmer wall switch, tho' someone in the ratings comments say they did work with a dimmer. Any other experiences with dimming?

The min/max wattage comment (by Scott) is spot on. My fixture had 3 dimmable LEDs and I had flickering. I swapped out one LED bulb for an incandescent to get above the min wattage. All flickering is gone. dimming works as expected.

I use all five that I installed with decorative incandescent light bulbs. Any LED bulbs that are also dimmable would work. I think you will have a problem IF you try to use CFL (florescent) bulbs because these lights dim by cutting voltage.

I have seen a comment that said : "I had a problem with my CFL light('s) flickering so I tried putting LED bulb in and it worked fine since" My opinion on this comment -> the CFL bulb either was too low a wattage and/or not dimmable; If you do try using a LED bulb I strongly suggest you make sure it IS a DIMABLE LED ,Even though this device will not dim the bulb this is important so as not to damage your LED unit and thus possibly damaging timer unit as well.

We didn't use dimmable bulbs, but my electrician husband says that if it is a dimmable bulb it should work.

I have LED bulbs in the fan now. I do not have them set up on a dimmer but that should not be a problem either.

If you buy the correct type of bulbs that are dimmable then you shouldn't have an issue. I have these set up with a single pole and 3 way switch dimmer with no issues.

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).

I haven't tried dimming the ones I have. I looked up LED lamps to see if they are dimmable. It appears some are. I can't say for sure about this one. I love the ones I have. Very crisp white light, using minimum power. :)

It most likely won't dim LED bulbs as its for incandescent bulbs. If the LED bulb is dimmable you should try a lutron C.L dimmer, which is made for LEDs.

Should be able to use with current switch. I didn't use any "special" dimmer switch, and they have worked just fine. NOTE: I have had a larger percentage of these bulbs burn out too fast, maybe 10%.

I am not sure, because, we do not have a dimmer attached to the unit. But, as far as I know, all bulbs are dimmable. They are great for us because we could not find the weird bulbs we needed.

No. You must use a decent dimmer that's led capable. The old dimmers are hard on the electronics in the led

Hello my friend Walter, Thanks for taking your great interest in our PAR20 light. Yes, this bulb is dimmable. But my friend, no dimmer included. The additional dimmer should be ordered separately. As you know, a incandescent bulb dimmer cannot work for all the LED light while LED light dimer can work for both LED light and incandescent bulbs. If you want, here is the LED dimmer we sell for your reference: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DN0VI4G Any question, pls kindly contact Lemonbest freely. We're always here for help. Nice day.

Michael M. I don't know what you are doing but I have several of these and never have an issue. Granted they are not the best quality but no reason for dimmer not to work with them. Do make sure the LED bulbs are dimmable, if they are not you will get a strobe light effect.

LED bulbs run on DC and come equipped with an AC converter. I don't think the converter would stand up too well on a dimmer, but if you can find LED bulbs that specifically say "dimmable", then go for it. The par 20's (LED) that I use in my kitchen specifically say "dimmable".
