can you use this dimmer switch on a florescent light

A dimming switch works only with a dimmable bulb. I don't believe fluorescent light bulbs are dimmable. The package the bulb came in would clearly indicate so if the bulb were dimmable. If you don't have the package, google the bulb to find out if it's dimmable.

In the end, it's jus a light socket, and wouldn't care about the dimmer switch. It's the bulb you screw in that might care. Som compact flourescent bulbs are not dimmable, and some LED bulbs sound like the have "compatible" dimmer switches, but I have not dealt with those.

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

my light switch was not a dimmer no. but neither was another fixture I purchased, and we switched out light switch and converted it to one no problem. just didn't try with this.

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.

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.

Yes it can be used with a dimmer switch I just installed one. You must separately purchase a GU24 Dim-able bulb (Lowes sells them) and make sure your dimmer switch is CFL compatible. If you've ever installed in house lighting fixtures before this one is no different, its very easy.

Yes, assuming the "electric wire" is low voltage and the same as the dimmer.

I have never used one in a dimmer, but the basics are the same so I do't see why not

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, the fixture will work with a dimmer switch. You will have to make sure that you match the dimmer switch with the type of bulb you are using. Make sure the bulb is dimmable and the switch is designed for the type of bulb...incandescent, CFL, LED.

This excellent lamp has a single, 27-Watt, florescent bulb. These bulbs cannot be used with dimmer switches, so there is no "Dimmed" option. If dimming the light is of real necessity, a sleeve made from a pants-leg can be slid over the Lamp Head, exposing only the amount of light that's desired. Good Luck !!

Probably not a good idea. The transformer that controls the LED's requires a steady voltage input to work correctly. If you reduce it with a dimmer you most likely cause it to work outside its designed parameters. I'm not an electrician so this is just my speculation. Unless it says safe to use with a dimmer in the instructions I wouldn't.

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

Yes you can. LED lights may not work with this dimmer, but regular incandescent lights will. Just remember that if you want to fade the lights, to set dipswitch 11 and 12 to the ON position (off for switching mode)

It did not work on a dimmer swItch. The installer trIed but it did not work. Not sure what kind of dimmer he used. The light is gorgeous!

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