Can bulbs be used on a dimmer?

Yes they can be used on a dimmer. I use them on a dimmer in my dinning room and they work great. They really shine when turned down about half way. That's when the filament is at its best

There is nothing from the manufacturer that states that these CANNOT be used with a dimmer, but I would ask a professional before installing.

It is possible to use your old dimmer, but a new dimmer that's rated for LED's would be ideal. The draw of current is so much less with the LED's, that your old dimmer 'may' not behave properly. I have found over the years that many dimmers behave differently with various lightbulbs.

I do not have a dimmer switch, but fluorescent bulbs generally are not suitable for dimming. So my answer is no, you cannot use them with the dimmer switch.

Yes, just install a dimmer in the switch box (electrician or experienced handy person). You will need to use regular light bulbs (non flourescent) for any light on a dimmer. I hope this helps.

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.

Any size of bulb can be used; however, the bulb must be a "dimmable" bulb. Check the bulb package. Ones that are NOT "dimmable" are so marked. Hope this helps. crn

yes.....as long as it is a regular on/off switch. Dimmer switches are tricky. They must be approved to use with a specific type of LED approved by the LED's manufacturer

i have not tried them on a dimmer, but the bulbs do not have the life span i had hoped for. I replaced all of the bulbs in my home with these, 3-4 months ago and have already had some burn out. If i had to order them again i would likely go with a more trusted name. Just my experience.

Yes, if you have dimmer switches for the particular light fixture(s) in which you will use the bulbs. I have mine on dimmers.

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

No. You will need to buy bulbs that are labeled as dimable. The dimmer switch used will have to be for cfl bulbs and match the power consumption rating matches the particular bulbs you buy.

The bulb is non-dimmable according to the Plumen website and should not be used with a dimmer. http://usshop.plumen.com/products/plumen-001-screw-fitting

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.

Yes, a standard dimmer can be used with this fixture. We have 2 of these fixtures and both are on dimmers.

I don't know why they would not. I haven't used these bulbs with a dimmer switch. I have flood light on one, but I have used a dimmer switch owith small, regular, decorative bulbs in a chandelier.

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.

I am using LED bulbs and am dimming them with the switch. So far, no problems and is working fine...make sure the bulbs state they are, in fact, dimmable.
