Is this dimmer compatable with compact fluorescemnt bulbs?

As long as the bulb packaging states that the compact fluorescent bulbs are dimmable then the dimmer will work. The issue is with the bulbs not the type of dimmer you choose.

You can use this dimmer with Dimmable CFL bulds. There may be some issues such as listed at this link from Lutron ...http://www.lutron.com/en-US/Education-Training/Pages/LCE/DimmingCFLsandLEDs.aspx.Otherwise you can get dimmers specifically made for CFL bulds. See below link from Lutron.http://www.lutron.com/en-US/Products/Pages/StandAloneControls/C.Ldimmers/Overview.aspx

I cannot answer that specifically regarding your dimmer. Though I use a lutron dimmer with mine. It maybe the same dimmer.

Yes. There is no reason why this bulb wouldn't be dimmable - it doen't contain any electronics or ballast as in a compact fluorescent. But it's already quite 'dim' to start off with!

I don't think so. I have the bulb and package in my hand and it doesn't reference dimming. Ever LED bulb that's dimmable seems to promote that feature.

I believe it is but check with Smarthome.com. This is a switch and should be OK, but if you decide to use their dimmers, I believe the are workable with Fluorescent. HTH. Good luck. I have a ton of this Insteon stuff and it all works as advertised. I love this stuff.... Bob

I would guess that it is also dependent o n the dimmer itself. There could be interaction with certain brands.I have used this bulb with a Lutron dimmer and works perfectly.

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

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.

I have used mine with normal incandescent bulbs and LEDs without a problem. I have not used this dimmer with a Halogen bulb but do not see that the Halogen should be any different than a normal incandescent bulb as far as the dimmer is concerned.

there are special dimmer for LED it should say on the box if they are compatible. the difference is LED's cannot go as low as a regular bulbs, so led dimmer have an adjustment for that.

It works with dimmable leds and halos. Don't know about compact florescents but don't think so. I have never seen compact florescents with that base.

I am sure, its not possible to install a dimmer, it uses a fluorescent circular bulb, it won't dim.

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 have not used bulb with dimmer, but I am almost certain this incandescent bulb will work with a standard incandescent dimmer. Worth trying.

I am not usung in a dimmable application so I don't know. The dimendions are posted however I can tell you they will not fit in the "puck" type undercabinet lights. Mine were spotlights and this bulb tip is almost level with the edge of the glass globe.

Yes it will. Any light fixture will work with a dimmer, it's the bulb that matters. Some bulbs you can't use with dimmers. Some of the LED bulbs use different dimmers than incandescent bulbs, just ask the person in the store what kind you need for the bulb you have.

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
