Will these work on a dimmer?

I'm pretty sure (98% sure) that installing a Sylvania MusicLite(s) on a dimmer switch can and will damage the speaker. That is my theory, because of the following. Each Sylvania MusicLite has a small D-Class amp (and supporting circuit board(s)) inside that are powering the loud speaker. The dimmer switch, by nature would reduce power to the electrical socket (and amp,circuit board(s)/speaker), and the trickle down effect would surely cause damage inside the speaker. The Sylvania MusicLites can be dimmed via the remote, so maybe have a professional replace the dimmer switch with a standard switch, and enjoy your MusicLites. I have several of them and I'm an audiophile with acute hearing, so when I vouch for the sound quality of a speaker, that's a pretty high grade. These speakers are not overly loud window shaking concert speakers, so manage your expectations, however they do have really nice tonal qualities when installed properly (flush with the ceiling), and a couple Sylvania MusicLites can work together to fill a room with wonderful ambient music, so buy 2 or more and enjoy.

Yes they can be used on a dimmer. I use them on a dimmer in my dinning room and they work great. They really shine when turned down about half way. That's when the filament is at its best

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.

!i Yes the dimmer will work, but you have to check the LED bulbs carefully. I have found dimmable bulbs like the CREE line of LEDs to work just fine. Other "dimmable LEDs" have not worked very well. Some Phillips and FEIT bulbs would blink rapidly or hum loudly.

I doubt it. The LED bulbs I used had a phone number to call and ask them what dimmers would work. It seems any and all LED lights must be matched to specific dimmers.

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

They do work with a dimmer but I bought three of them and one by one they all failed with the first 60 days.

Yes - of course it depends what kind of light bulb you put in it. I have 3 LED bulbs that work great on a dimmer. CFLs will not work as we'll.

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

Yes they are 120v. I haven't tried them on a dimmer but am sure they would work.

I believe that all filament based bulbs (not LED or CFL) can be put on a dimmer. So yes, you should be able to put these on a dimmer. However, they are not very bright to begin with, so not sure you'll need to dim them.

Don't know. Picked up a generic leviton paddle dimmer from my local hardware store and they work well with that.

I am sure they will dim. they are just a regular incandescent bulb. you will likely not want them dimmed tho. They do work very well.

Yes it will work with a dimmer but its a decorative bulb but not real brite

Yes,make sure the LED bulbs are dimmable. I use LED bulbs and dimmers with these all the time.

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.
