If this type of bulb is used in the instrument panel which contains a rheostat (dimmer) will these lamps function the same way (dim) like OE bulbs?

Yes. I installed in my dash & they work great.dimmable & bright. Be aware, I have an expedition & there were 4 or 5 to put in but there was also a couple tiny ones as well.

They do in mine, however the adjustability is not as good as in incandescent bulb would be, the range in light with an led is limited. But they "dimming" Is satisfactory in most cases. Hope this helps you out.

I know the two different lamps I have had (older smaller flip up) and (newer larger extension style with trays) both use the same bulbs. I am not sure if they are all the same.

They are likely to work fine and dim. I have around 15 of these bulbs installed in similar fixtures and frequently have them dimmed, using several different types of dimmers.

The bulb type for this item will be the same as your OEM ights.Please let me know if there is anything else i can do for you or if you have any questions.Sincerely,Briana

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.

I used the type of bulb used before compact fluorescent bulbs came out so I don't know if they will work or not. Shade is ivory.

You know what, I've never tried. But I don't think these bulbs have any special requirement as far as input is concerned. After all, the whole premise is that they use regular old filaments like early bulbs. A dimmer merely controls how much energy is allowed to get to the filament. I see no problem in trying to use these with a dimmer.

I have both the replacement lamp from Amazon and the OEM installed...one on either side. I see no difference in the brightness or light. It was a good match for me.

From what I have seen, almost all of those bulbs are the same. I don't know for are for your specific piece of equipment, but it is worth a shot.

I think that the bulbs are the same, , , the ballast is what decides the brightness. Don't take my word for it tho.

Yes this item will use your OEM bulbs.Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any questions.Sincerely,Briana

I assume so as the fixtures I use them in have a two brightness levels, Full, Half,& Off. I use most of them at half brightness except in the fixture over the sink which is always on High (Full Brightness). Since there is a filament any increment of dimming should function OK. Note: You can't beat the price as 19 of the 20 could be crushed in transit & it would still be 1/2 price of one retail bulb. You should be "good to go" - just buy them.

They work the same as incandescent. I use them in two of my vehicles, both of which have dim and/or fade functions, without issue.

To my knowledge, I don't think so. There are cfl bulbs that are specifically designed for dimmer operation.

the lamp i put mine in wasnt a dimming lamp so i dont know FOR SURE.....but LEDs are tough and long lasting and I'd be very surprised if this bulb couldnt dimm when put in a fixture controlled with a proper Dimmer switch

My guess is no as these are fairly large circuit boards for a dome light. I should also mention that if you lights normally automatically fade to off, the lights will never shut off. They don't work in my Toyota Matrix because of this. If I put them in the only way to shut them off is to turn the dimmer on the dash the whole way off, but then they don't light when you open the doors.

Yes. I think only old rheostats consumed the same power when dimmed. I would expect the lumens per Watt to remain nearly constant with LED sources, decay somewhat (higher LPW) with fluorescent, and decay significantly with incandescent sources. This is not because of inefficiency in the device, but because incandescent bulbs are have higher LPW when at lower filament temperatures. Also, incandescent lamps will have lower color temperature (redder) when dimmed, while most LEDs do not change their color temperature much when dimmed. I have not seen an actual curve. I hope this helps.
