I am using these bulbs as an energy-efficient replacement for dimmable incandescents. They work with the dimmers that were in place (brand, I believe, is Lutron). I would hesitate only because of that word "any" in your question.

I use them in the living room ceiling fan that has a dimmer, they work fine! I hope this helps!

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.

I would check the Lutron website, they have a long list of dimmable CFLs and LEDs that are fully compatible with this dimmer. The customer support line is also very helpful.

there are special dimmer for LED it should say on the box if they are compatible. the difference is LED's cannot go as low as a regular bulbs, so led dimmer have an adjustment for that.

Yes, if you put in a dimmer switch. But you can't use florescent bulbs, dimmers don't work with those.

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.

It says on the side of the box "not for use with dimmers". However, I bought these a couple years ago, perhaps things have changed... I would see what you can find in LED rather than CFL. You will be happier, I think.

Yes, but you have to have a low voltage dimmer switch. Very hard to find>have not found one.

Most any dimmer will "work" with a dimmable bulb, but the low priced dimmers don't dim as well. Not a smooth transition, flickering, etc.

They can, as long as you keep the dimmer turned up to full power.The orange light isn't that bright to begin with, and if you reduce the power going into these bulbs they won't light at all. They're more for decorative ambiance and effect than "real" light.

I am using the bulbs, but not in a dimming application. I do know (from previous experience), that you should use a dimmer that says it will work with LEDs.

I have reg. bulbs with a dimmer on my lamp. My electrician said I would need a different dimmer switch to use with LED bulbs.

These will not operator on a dimmer. The have 2 or 3 settings controlled by a switch on the cord. I think you will find these setting will meet your needs. The use of an external dimmer will burn them out almost immediately.

I have not tried that due to comparability issues withj fixtures inside my home with similar bulbs. I would ask Philips. This fixture can dim when there's no motion and that feature may not work right with the bulb

Yes,you may use these bulbs with a dimmer. They are just halogen incandescent bulbs. I use them in a dimmable 60W fixture and they give much more light that a regular bulb.

Are they CFL light bulbs? I heard, but don't know for sure, that they may not be able to be dimmed. I'm probably all wet. My Lutron works GREAT and I love it. So sorry for your woes.
