Are these lights compatible with the dimmer Lutron MACL-153M?

I have no idea!! Sorry, The package say that they are dimmable, but I have only used them with on/off switches in my home and for that they work fine. I have about 45 fixtures using these bulbs with no complaints, they are not as bright as the 50w halogens, but close enough!

Thanks for the question. Normally yes. However, your fixture (all low voltage fixtures) has a transformer built in that also needs to be compatible as well.

They likely will not, unfortunately. We have found the only reliable dimmer to be a Lutron Diva - DVCL-153P, available here on Amazon. -- Barry - Brodwax on Amazon

I installed them using a standard on/off switch on my kitchen. I haven't install a dimmer but it seems to me that a standard on/off switch with dimmer should work.

yes those will work just fine but some times the dimmer switch has to be replaced with one recommended for those lights.

Should be able to use with current switch. I didn't use any "special" dimmer switch, and they have worked just fine. NOTE: I have had a larger percentage of these bulbs burn out too fast, maybe 10%.

I would check the Lutron website, they have a long list of dimmable CFLs and LEDs that are fully compatible with this dimmer. The customer support line is also very helpful.

Nathan -- we have not tested those, but my guess is they will not. So far the only dimmer we have found to work is the Lutron Diva DVCL-153P. Sorry -- Barry, Brodwax on Amazon

I use LUTRON C.L Dimmers. They work for all types of bulbs. If there is buzzing with these dimmer switches then there is a problem with the bulb and you should return it.

I believe that they are. While I do not have this specific bulb running of a dimmer switch, they're the same wattage and type as those installed in a couple of our ceiling fans (with dimmer capability). The only difference is that these are slightly longer than those in the fans.

I contacted Philips and they updated their website with an updated dimmer compatibility. The new chart (page 7) lists all of the compatible brands and rates them as well. http://www.usa.lighting.philips.com/connect/tools_literature/compatibility.wpd

Yes, these work just fine with regular switches. I have 30 of these lights and 13 of them are on regular switches while the rest are on dimmers.

Don't know. Picked up a generic leviton paddle dimmer from my local hardware store and they work well with that.

Yes, these are incandescent halogen bulbs, and they work fine on a dimmer. If you are installing a new high voltage (120v) *dimmer*, you may need to ensure the dimmer is compatible with the power supply/transformer for the low-voltage fixture. If everything is already in place and working and all you're doing is replacing bulbs, you are good-to-go.

To be safe, call Lutron customer service and ask if this combination would be compatible. Amazon may be able to answer also.

Yes, they will fit. I replaced my wedge bulbs in my Malibu path lighting with these. I was very pleased with the light output and glow. They didn't look like the cheap solar lights.
