These function just like any other light bulb (most CFL bulbs do not work with dimmer-switches, these do), however they are slightly larger than a standard bulb. They work great in my kitchen, but my light has globes that cover the bulbs and the globes don't fit over these bulbs.

Yes they can, BUT, mine lasted about 3 months and then died. I replaced them with 40w (watt) equivalent LED bulbs which use 7.5 watts to produce the same amount of lumens (light) as a 40w incandescent bulb. LED bulbs should last around 20 years or 100,000 hours or more. Fluorescent lights are on their way out. The other thing about LED bulbs is that they are smaller and less bulky than CFL bulbs and they don't change color with age.LED bulbs also contain no mercury and require no special disposal.

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%.

You can buy the dimmer switch separately: http://www.amazon.com/Lightkiwi-Dimmer-Switch-Cabinet-Lighting/dp/B008DISZN0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393977697&sr=8-1&keywords=lightkiwi+dimmer

I don't know why they would not. I haven't used these bulbs with a dimmer switch. I have flood light on one, but I have used a dimmer switch owith small, regular, decorative bulbs in a chandelier.

You will have to install your own dimmer switch. The sets use standard bulbs, so they are dim able.

Not sure , if you can dime I do not have a dimmer switch. However I can tell you I bought 2 of them and many crystals came damaged and some parts didn't fit correctly, bad directions to put together .they did send new parts and it is a beautiful light.

I installed them using a standard on/off switch on my kitchen. I haven't install a dimmer but it seems to me that a standard on/off switch with dimmer should work.

They can be used with either a regular dimmer or with a standard light switch. In other words, you can use them just like a regular light bulb. I'm using mine on a regular on/off switch.

Hi Tom, That's actually my current setup. I used to have 1 dimmer and 2-regular non-dimmer switches and I replaced one of the non-dimmer switches with Honeywell timer switch. As long as each switches are independent to each other, it should not be an issue. Btw, I'm not a professional electrician so this response is just based on my current home setup. - Joel

Is there a recommended dimmer switch that I can buy in Amazon itself ? Thanks in advance.

Your dimmer switch doesn't have to be compatible, the light bulb does. It will say LED dimmable in description

Not according to my electrician, at least not with the LED fixtures that I purchased to use with these switches. I had to use 'conventional' dimmer switches, which worked fine.

There is nothing from the manufacturer that states that these CANNOT be used with a dimmer, but I would ask a professional before installing.

not an expert, but if you put in a bulb that works with a dimmer switch it would work fine. Some new LED's won't work with dimmer switch..it shows yes or no on the LEDpackage where I shop.

I had to update to the new dimmable switches. Home Depot or Lowes will point you to the proper switch. The Old will not work properly.
