Will the LET 151 work for indoor halogen strip lights? There are 5- 20watt halogen bulbs on the light strip..

YES, BUT . . . Actually, this is the application I bought mine for. It works, but voltage runs low (11.5V) and lights do not acheive full brightness

I am using the LET151 with 8 x 20 watt halogen lights connected to an Insteon dimmer.Works great for me so I think it would work for you too.

It should work. Just make sure that the bulbs draw at least 50 Watts combined or the transformer will not work. Maximum is 150 Watts.

Yes. I originally used a 42watt CFL bulb in and it worked fine, however it was too bright for the room so I switched it out with a 23 watt CFL which is equivalent to 100w incandescent.

Lutron's "C*L Dimmer" Maestro line is made for use with dimmable LED and CFL bulbs (search model # MACL&#8209;153M). Even though you're not *supposed* to use LED's with this, I would think that as long as you have 60W total worth of bulbs running through it, it will be fine. For example, I currently have 6 recessed can flood lights running on one of these switches...if I switch to 65W-equivalent LEDs that will be roughly 57W...pushing my luck, but I expect it will work (I realize this isn't very helpful until I test it...just saying if it controls a single 60W incandescent bulb just fine, it should theoretically run six 10+ watt dimmable LED bulbs just fine as well. Would be very curious to see if anyone has tried this out that can confirm they were using this model of the Lutron switch and not one of the C*L's.

I used these for 13 watt CFLs. They should handle 60 or 100 watt incandescents OK.Thanks....

U can use the link above eTopLighting halogen bulbs. They are really cheap and works great

I have been using these studio lights for a few months now. They came with 45 watt, 5500K bulbs, similar to the bulbs you are looking at above. They use standard size light bulb bases like everything in your house. Your higher wattage bulbs should work ok. Heat would be the main concern. I probably would not use halogen bulbs because they are very hot. The only modification I made was to extend the vertical support rod so I can sit these on the floor and now have them high enough for my tabletop, otherwise the base has to sit on the table itself, taking up room.

Yes, as long as your lamp has a two pin base. As pictured the lamp sticks up out of the lamp fixture, not horizontally like some other halogen exterior lights. I use min in a fixture that can take 100 watts, but just like the old fashioned tungsten bulbs, you don't hurt anything my using lower wattage.

You can use A15 40W bulbs if you don't want to use Halogens. Halogens are too hot for me. I started out with the incandescent A15 and saw some LED bulbs at Lowes or Home Depot (Utilitech - Pro , model LR140M/LED). They are 4.5W, 300 lumens and made for use in a damp environment. They are not cheap but the lighting is very clean.

Most bi-pin 20w halogens that I have seen are MR11. So you're probably in good shape. It's frustrating that the owner's manual from their own website does not state what kind of bulb this is precisely.

Don't know specs mine put out half the light as the halogen ones . It's more of a mood lighting , like a 15watt halogen bulb

Yes.It's rated for 150 Watts. If your bulbs together add up to less than 150w (and they should) then you will be fine.For example a 1156LL bulb by Sylvania uses 26.9W each. Multiply that by 4, and you get 107.6W total, which is under 150W.

It will work, the lights will not dim as low as the halogen bulbs. Once they get so low they shut off. I do like the lights and feel they work great, I use them in my movie room and am pleased.

I use this switch on a pair of 150 watt halogen flood lights, see the switch specs below - 50 watt will work just fine. Halogen comes under the official designation of incandescent.Wall Switch (WE-001); On/Off function on devices up to 1000WWorks with incandescent, fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps

I don't know what kind of light you have in mind, but the typical household light switch for lighting circuits is rated at equal, if not less amps, usually 15-20 amps. Unless you are using it for some higher output lamp, it should work fine. Remember, watts divided by volts equals amps. For instance, if you are operating a 75 watt bulb under a 120 volt circuit, you would determine the amps as 75/120 = .625 amps. If you are operating more than one bulb, be sure to add up all of the bulb wattages before you do the math. This switch is rated at 20 amps, so don't go over the rated amperage. The screw portion of the switch is right at 7/16 in. Be careful and good luck.

If the Halogen Bulb works in a standard Incandescent Fixture (120V) it should work fine.

As long as they are incandescent bulb bulbs but will not work on low voltage lighting (usually under/in cabinet lighting 2) yes...you will need to have one main switch coupled with auxillary switches.

I'm using CFLs but incandescent bulbs should work, too. Don't know about halogen.HTH, Jeff
