Will these work with normal dimmers or will they need new dimmers installed? thanks

I am using the previously installed dimmers meant to work with incandescent bulbs. The dimming range of LED bulbs is not as extensive as when using incandescent bulbs.

They are likely to work fine and dim. I have around 15 of these bulbs installed in similar fixtures and frequently have them dimmed, using several different types of dimmers.

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.

I have never tried these with a dimmer but I do know that LEDs don't work with Dimmers

I have not used bulb with dimmer, but I am almost certain this incandescent bulb will work with a standard incandescent dimmer. Worth trying.

I cant speak for all dimmers but I have installed several of these with Insteon SwitchLinc dimmers and about 30ft of LED ribbon each. They dim up and down without issue.

I found they won't work with this dimmer. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000JJYJMM

If the lights work with a regular dimmer, they will work with this one as well.

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

These have the normal mounting holes for standard faceplates as well, so using them without the supplied faceplates is not a problem.Be aware that if you are mounting these next to other devices you have to remove fin tabs which are part of the heatsink of the dimmer. They are designed for this application, but it does derate the capacity of the dimmer. See the instructions for more info.

I don't have them in a dimmer-enabled switch, but my guess would be not dimmable.

Hi M. Bell. The ones I received had screw and push in connections, no solder required. Traditionally you would have a black wire and white wire, black being the "hot" wire and white being the neutral. There are directions & diagrams with the dimmer. Hope that helps - Larry.

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.

Certainly. Please not that I'm not professional or electrician, but I installed these in my home theater room, replacing old dome lights. It works great! If you need to add a dimmer, make sure you get some specific ones, since I could not make it work with some brands.

Since these are 12V LEDs, they require a separate 12V power supply and I suspect that the 12V power supply would not handle being on a dimmer circuit. There is a low cost dimmer available, see http://www.amazon.com/Lighting-EVER-Dimmer-Wireless-Control/dp/B004X4O1NG/ref=pd_sim_hg_4
