can this be used with LED dimmable bulbs? Compatible?

If they are a true dimmable buld this switch should work fine. I have used several of these with no issues. Great product.

I currently use these dimmers to dim under cabinet and in cabinet led lighting and they work great. This is lighting where there is a separate driver. I haven't tried them with LED bulbs with an integrated driver. You may want to try http://Lutron.com/ledtool

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%.

I use it on a dimmable lamp however I believe all dimmable bulbs can be used on either types of lamps (both standard non-dimmable and dimmable). The brightness would be at full capacity not at the medium output.

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.

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

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 have used it with a CFL, but I don't know if it will work with a LED bulb.

We didn't use dimmable bulbs, but my electrician husband says that if it is a dimmable bulb it should work.

!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.

Absolutely..........works great with led lights provided they are dimmable. I bought some cheap China led flood lights on ebay and although they said nothing about being dimmable they dim just fine.Good Luck!Doug

No, it cannot. I purchased this bulb because it didn't specifically say it wasn't dimmable - but they are not. Here's the one I bought instead - it works beautifully; and has a great, soft warm light - as good or better than the halogen it replaced.

Sorry my previous answer was incorrect as I remember a new product that just might work, but your dimmer function might not be usuable. This LED unit is comparable to a 25watt light: https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/114212/LED-G92020E.html

I have used led bulbs in fixtures with dimmers and did change anything with the hardware. I DID HOWEVER make sure that the bulbs were listed as dimmable before i installed them and i have had no problems at all.

Short answer: Yes.Long answer: LED bulbs can be used whereever incandescents can be used, including with dimming. It's CFLs you have to worry about. (CFLs do work in this fixture, by the way)

Yes. I used this bulb to replace a halogen g9 bulb. I've had it for a few weeks now. So far, it's worked quite well. Though, I don't know how well it will work with a dimmer switch. Not all LED bulbs are dimmable, and I haven't tried using this one with a dimmer. If your light is not on a dimmer switch, that should not be a problem.

Correct. Incandescent sockets are compatible. Just look the model type up to know what size bulb you need. 95% of my lights are now LEDs.

Yes. It acts as an on/off switch so even non-dimmable bulbs will work. I have two controlling CFLs non problem, and will eventually replace them with LEDs when the time comes.
