Is unit dimmable and will it work with Lutron dimmer switches? If not, do you have a 12 volt unit that is dimmable?

2 basic choices for dimming. You either need a 12 volt dimmer that goes after your power supply & before the led strip or, you have to buy a magnetic dimmable power supply and then buy a special magnetic dimmer switch(Lutron makes one). This power supply is more expensive & some hear more noise from them.

If you want to have dimmable led strips then you should put the dimmer after the power supply. I used a "HitLights 12-24Volt One Channel Touch Dimmer For Solid LED Lighting Strip, 8 Amp" ($12,99) with "HitLights Warm White Double Density 600 LEDs Flexible Light Strip, 3528 Type SMD, 5 Meter or 16.4 Ft, 12 Volt, 48 Watt" ($20.95) and this power supply and it works great. Read the customer review on the dimmer from Beanhall for a neat idea. I followed his/her suggestion and connected the dimmer to a metal fixture so it is a neat touch sensor on/off & dimmer. It wow's the heck out of all on my guests who see it in operation. I don't know if the powersupply works with Lutron dimmer switches but I know trying to control power supplies with dimmer switches at 110V AC can be a lot more of a problem then controlling at 12V DC and they often hum. The approach I took was a lot cheaper.

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.

NO - the unit has a switching power supply for the LEDs. A dimmer would do nothing to the brightness other than on/off at some point in the range.

That information is correct. A compatible dimmer would be Lutron DVLV-600P.

Should work with any X-10 switch. I would not use a dimmer because equipment damage could occur if something that requires a full 120V was plugged into the switched half of the outlet. Also, beware that X-10 devices are getting harder and harder to get because the products/technology is basically obsolete.

I think I installed one of these: Lutron, Diva, C*L Dimmers for Dimmable CFL & LED Bulbs, DVCL-153P-WH. It is very quiet, but not completely silent.

No this will not work. It has a high and low, that is it. No dimmer as described in the description.

I bought one at HomeDepot today and it does dim my dimmable LEDs which I recently purchased from Costco. No issue at all. In fact most of my old 1980s dimmers work fine for these bulbs. I guess you just need bulbs that say dimmable. They dim to a very low level with no flicker. The bulbs do not power off with the dim lever set to the lowest setting which I find useful. If your bulbs are dimmable save yourself 19 bucks and buy this. I bought one at HD and will buy 5 more here to save a few bucks.

This item is not dimmable. To make it dimmable, one would need to use a compatible constant current driver along with a dimmer switch.

Lutron dimmers work. They have several dimmers so be sure you select one that supports LED. good luck!

I have several of these units and have had no problems. I suggest you use a voltmeter to measure both the input voltage (should be about 12V) and the output voltage (voltage should go from about 0V to 12V as you adjust the knob from full dim to full bright. If no input voltage, check the power supply. If input voltage OK, but no output voltage, first check that you LEDs are working by connecting directly to the 12V power supply; If LEDs lite OK, dimmer is bad.

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.

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.

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.

I've used both Insteon smart-switch dimmers as well as Lutron dimmers. They were not specifically speced for LED lighting, but they have been working fine for me.

it is not dimmable as it arrives, but I believe a separate transformer dimmer could be purchased. It might be better to search for one with a dimmer built in. As it is, it is very bright and needs a dimmer.

Work marginally with Lutron dimmer. Lamp only comes on with dimmer at 100%, then you can dim. When not at 100% light does not come on.
