Does the dimmer work with compact florescent bulbs?

Yes, but the compact bulbs used, need to be labeled "dimmable" or compatible with dimmers.
1623402
Yes, but not well and I did not like the look or performance. I found the Globe GE Reveal Halogens to be the most beautiful and responsive giving the deepest colors from the shade.

The dimmer works well, but we put Thomas Edison bulbs in it. We only needed a dim light. It's beautiful!

Only if the bulb you are using is dimmable. This socket only extends to existing socket about 1.5 inches and has no effect on dimming whatsoever.

!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.

The Cree 18-Watt works fine in a touch lamp with 3 settings, but I have not tried it on a regular dimmer or compared it to a GE bulb.

Yes. It lowers the voltage entering the lampcord. If the bulb lights without the dimmer, it will light WITH the dimmer.

The dimmer will not work with standard CFL's. You can try a dimmable CFL, but I've found them to be rather erratic. Or just stick with an incandescent bulb. Good luck.

Based on what I saw about that line (it's discontinued by the way), the Acenti dimmer seems to be for incandescent bulbs, so no it will not work, unless the one you have is specially for LED light fixtures.

Yes if you're using incandescent bulbs but CFL's have a tendency to flicker or not work with reduced power source. All the dimmer does is reduce the power to whatever is attached.

I use this dimmer with halogen bulbs (Osram 41870WFL) and it works perfectly.

First this comes in two sizes;make sure the R20 is the bulb you want. Next, I do not have this on a dimmer but if the recessed can you have is on a dimmer I see no reason why this wont work with a dimmer as it acts just an extension.

I've got it controlling 2 fixtures, each with 2 LED bulbs (small ones, like oversized night light bulbs) and it works perfectly. No dimmer function for any kind of bulb... just on and off.

It has a regular light bulb socket. I am not familiar with compact fluorescent bulbs to know if one would fit. If it fits in the same space as a regular bulb I would say it should work.

It is the bulb not the fixture that makes it dimmer compatible. So if you use standard bulbs this is fixture can be used with a dimmer. The low energy florescent bulbs are usually the problem with dimmers. What is great about this fixture is you can use high wattage bulbs. I use phillips low energy standard bulbs that are about 50 watts but output about 2500 lumens which is about a 100 watt bulb. Multiply that by three and you have one very bright fixture if needed. Good luck

It works with my LED light, but I have noticed odd behavior when the dimmer is on lower settings. There is a momentary delay before the bulb emits light, and once the bulb is lit, it has a tendency to vary in brightness. I don't notice this with incandescent bulbs on the same switch. Full disclosure: I live in an old house so this may be a result of older wiring.

It doesn't work with dimmers but it's easy to look for replacement bulbs. I purchased mine here (I swear it works really great; bright and durable): Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

I'm sorry, I do not know! The switch I have it on is not a dimmer switch. I'm sure it does as long as you have a dimmer switch and bulbs that are dimmable...not all LEDs are dimmable. Hope this helps:)

It does.....have two of these on dimmer as long as you're not putting in fluorescent bulbs in
