can this device be used for dimmable bulbs?

While that's what I got to do, it would work as long as the build is dimmable.

This switch most certainly DOES work for incandescent bulbs. I know this, because it is currently (get it?) working in my incandescent lamp. If your original dimmer was 500W 120V 60H this will work. I'm not an electrical engineer, but I can't think of a single way the switch would know what type of bulb it is outputting power to, which is why I used it, and I couldn't be happier.

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

Yes, you can use dimmable bulbs as long as your dimmer is compatible. Yes, I have installed them next to insulation without any problem.

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

It depends on which bulbs you are using. If incandescent, dimmable LED, or dimmable fluorescent bulbs, then answer would be "Yes". If non-dimable fluorescent or LED, then the answer would be "No".

I think you can, i use it in a Lumatek Dimmable Ballast and it works fine, but i won't recommend to use it in less than 100%, it would consume the same power and will short the lifespan of the bulb.

Yes I would think as long as it is a dimmable bulb it would work just fine. These lights are great love how they dim on their own.

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.

Hi, this depends on what type of switch it is. I think this product is a 2 way switch. If it is, no it won't work. If you are installing this in a 3 way setup where there is another 3 way switch, then the dimmer has to be a 3 way dimmer switch. Another thing to keep in mind is that the light you want to dim has to be able to be dimmable. Example, if it is a flourescent light it must be a dimmable type. Usually incandescent or halogen bulbs are used where dimmers are used. Hope this helps

No, it's not dimmable and should not use with dimmers otherwise will damage the bulb.

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".

I don't think so... Usually dimmable CFL bulbs are clearly labeled as such, and cost significantly more.

Yes. A universal remote will work. The bulbs are incandescent ( small thread, like night light bulbs) so yes, they are dimmable

I would think so as long as you have dimmable bulbs. But I really like mine, they replaced the nasty apartment ones & a great price!

Yes, but you have to have a low voltage dimmer switch. Very hard to find>have not found one.

Yes, as long as the holder(base) is smaller than normal size. Also they will not work for dimmer or for multi level. I am using these bulbs for ceilingSam
