when you hardwire it to either a switch or dimmer , does it have to be a low voltage ?

No. Wired using the included wall plug line, it plugs directly into a std 110 volt outlet. When wired to a 110 volt wall switch you use the included, in line dimmer module.

While I have not used these with a dimmer switch, I see no reason why not. In effect the converter is just a conductor between the two different types of connectors.

No. The connections only allow the dimmers to control the switch below each one.

Only with a 12v dimmer switch. The better the quality of the dimmer switch, the lower it will dim down. Most cheap dimmers only dim to about 30%. A good one -+- $100 will dim down to zero

A dimmer switch? No you don't NEED one, in fact it probably works better without one.

I believe you are referring to: Lutron Diva Magnetic Low-Voltage Dimmer. Having wired home and built my own stereo from components I will say "YES". This leaves you the controller for changing colors. (just remember if it "does not come on" with the installed switch.....then someone...has turned the lights"off" from the remote.) AND: the remote may not respond while you are dimmed on the wall switch as you are also reducing the receiver on the led cable. It most likely WILL NOT respond when dimmed. I have a photo of what I did and will try to upload it after this is posted (No place for a photo here with this respond) I used poster putty to mount my controller on the wall against a door sill.

Not according to my electrician, at least not with the LED fixtures that I purchased to use with these switches. I had to use 'conventional' dimmer switches, which worked fine.

The detailed specs list this as a "dimmable" item, so if you have a dimming switch installed, that should do the trick ...

no the dimmer needs to be between the light and the power supply if you put it be for you will cut the power it requires and you take a chance of damaging the power supply

hello thank you fro the question and interest. Yes this will work on a dimmer switch and the color are darker when not lit

We hard-wired this as a ceiling fixture on the double-height ceiling of our living room, so that the on/off switch is a regular wall-mounted dimmer. But I believe there is a small switch on the cover plate. We mounted two of these on the ceiling as a pinpoint light to highlight artwork on the walls, and they're discrete and cheap!

I have it on a normal on off switch so im not sure if it can be hooked to a dimmer.

No. There is a box that gets hardwired between the fan and power source in the bracket that is the receiver for the remote control. A dimmer switch would only ruin that receiver.

You can change to a dimmer, but it has to be a low voltage dimmer. Buy it through Amazon, I got mine there at about $45 where HD / Lowes is $105 for the same thing. Then just follow the wiring diagram of the driver (12v converter). You must also use a dimmable driver for the low voltage lights. I did my kitchen and it is great light and looks nice at night. Hope I helped.

You will need a transformer to transform 120V to 12V since this dimmer switch requires a 12V input.

I have used this dimmer on regular lighting and low voltage lighting. Never on a dimmable LED fixture. Buy the switch from a store that has a liberal return policy and try it out. Then of course let us know... Good luck!
