In the application that I wish to use them for , they are on a dimmer . Are LEDs , and particularly , THESE LEDs dimmable ??? My application is a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan overhead console / map lights / dome lights . the bulb must go through a circuit...

these LEDs are dimmable for most applications. lowest voltage is around 9v assuming these are 1.8v LEDs. a current limiting resistor is soldered onto the boards. the dash light dimmer works for the LEDs and they are much much brighter than the old incandescents. however blue lights are hard on the eyes when using them as a flashlight. use white leds as they don't distort the color of what your looking at.

I have used led bulbs in fixtures with dimmers and did change anything with the hardware. I DID HOWEVER make sure that the bulbs were listed as dimmable before i installed them and i have had no problems at all.

Michael M.I don't know what you are doing but I have several of these and never have an issue. Granted they are not the best quality but no reason for dimmer not to work with them.Do make sure the LED bulbs are dimmable, if they are not you will get a strobe light effect.

If you buy the correct type of bulbs that are dimmable then you shouldn't have an issue. I have these set up with a single pole and 3 way switch dimmer with no issues.

I believe they will work on LED's ....I installed one on some high efficiency outdoor bulbs I believe they are of the "LED" type. The problems I have had is at times the remote switch does not work...one day it justs decides not to work reliably but most of the time it works fine. (The failure times do not have any rhyme or reason...could be close to the reciever or a couple hundred feet)

No dimmer switch on mine. I just put lower watt bulbs in because I like the look of it. If your camper has a dimmer switch hooked up on the outlet you plug in to that would work. Not sure otherwise how to make them dim.

Yes you can, i have been all of my CFL bulbs with LED on both my dimmer switches and Relay Switches. That said some LED work better then others. i would not recommend Philips,as they tend to flicker on low dim and take a second to turn on. i use CREE bulbs and get them at home depot and the pricing has come down a great deal. some of the other tested by Insteon are Cree, Ecosmart, Sylvania, Feit Electric, GE, Great Value, Unitech. you can call them directly to see if there are any further updates. Hope that helps

dear adam...we use them in the kitchen on a dimmer...the package does not say one way or the other...we have no problems with dimming them....the only drawback is they do burn hot and they burn out rather quickly...paying more for the led bulbs might be more cost effective in the long run....they last a long time and do not burn hot...hope this helps

I think when they are dimmed, yes. Try and return if they don't work for the application. They are MUCH warmer when dimmed than our other LED bulbs. Very pretty.

LED bulbs run on DC and come equipped with an AC converter. I don't think the converter would stand up too well on a dimmer, but if you can find LED bulbs that specifically say "dimmable", then go for it. The par 20's (LED) that I use in my kitchen specifically say "dimmable".

I 'm not sure. But as they have a resistance [like old bulbs], I guess they should be dimmable.

All halogen bulbs are dimmable, while not all LEDs are dimmable...so yes these are dimmable

Hey Big Hank. To be honest I don't know the answer to that question. I'd "assume" you cant as I haven't had experience with many smart bulbs that work with dimmers. Well not unless you spend a good amount of money on them. These are fairly in-expensive in the grand scheme of bulbs. If you give it a whirl please let me know.

These lights are NOT dimmable. They are either on or off. It does come with diffusion screens that dim it some. There are 2 switches in the back that will turn on 2 lights each. Other than that, removing bulbs is the only way.

These say dimmable. I had an electrician tell me that I needed LED compatible dimmers, but they work on my old dimmers.

I bought one at HomeDepot today and it does dim my dimmable LEDs which I recently purchased from Costco. No issue at all. In fact most of my old 1980s dimmers work fine for these bulbs. I guess you just need bulbs that say dimmable. They dim to a very low level with no flicker. The bulbs do not power off with the dim lever set to the lowest setting which I find useful. If your bulbs are dimmable save yourself 19 bucks and buy this. I bought one at HD and will buy 5 more here to save a few bucks.

Not an expert, but I'd say yes and no. They're changing the led light bulbs to work with dimmers, not the other way around. But I do use these dimmers with dimmable Leds, and have had no issues.
