Can these be used with a dimmer switch?

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.

Only if they specifically mention that they are dimmable. I had ordered two to try but they got lost en route.The regular LED GU 10 bulbs work fine. I prefer the "warm" as opposed to daylight LEDs.

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

Yes, you can. I have 3 in a lamp over my pool table on a dimmer switch and they do dim just fine.

The dimmer switch won't work because the light have an inline convertor that controls the dimming. At least I don't think it would be recommended to use the dimmer switch with them.

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.

No - the packaging specifically states that they can't be used with a dimmer.

Yes, and as far as I know just about every lighting fixture is dimmable with the right type of bulb and the right type of dimmer switch for the bulb that you have. I know these work with incandescent, CFL and LED dimmable bulbs (with a dimmer switch designed to control all three types).

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

They are not equipped with dimmers as you probably already know. Seems likely that they would work with a conventional triac based dimmer if you like.

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 am not sure. I would think possibly not well because it is not recommended for a dimmer switch, which has different electronic configuration than a regular switch.

Sorry, I don't know. I love the fixture but have it in the kitchen where I don't have a dimmer switch. I've had other fixtures hooked up to dimmers by an electrician and don't see any reason why this one couldn't be. Best to check with an electrician, though.

I'm not sure. I'm not using it on a dimmer. I would guess you can but not from personal experience.

Yes, these work just fine with regular switches. I have 30 of these lights and 13 of them are on regular switches while the rest are on dimmers.

Hello. Yes, this light can be used with a standard dimmer switch. Please let me know if I can help in any other way. -Beth

Yes, these are dimmable. You have to use a wall switch with built in dimmer.
