Does this dimmer work with standard incandescent light sources or is it for low voltage only?

Sorry, I'm not too sure. I was attempted to try it because I was curious myself, but I didn't want to do damage to the unit.

I am currently using it for a set of 3 25W halogen bulbs. I'm not sure where the low voltage part comes into play, unless it's referring to the switch. Low voltage is usually 24V or less, and this plugs into a standard 120V outlet and looks just like a basic 2 prong indoor extension cord. So the short answer is: yes, it should work for your application.

I used this for low voltage under cabinet lights. I don't if it would work with standard incandescent lights. You could send an email to Westek and ask the question. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

put 6 in a chandelier and the incandescent dimmer worked fine. However, I have a track light in the kitchen that had 10 halogen bulbs at 12 volts and when I replaced these with led the lights flickered until one halogen was replaced. If you don't have an electronic voltage transformer you should be ok. they need load to work. i

The only way to dim would be to use a low voltage inline dimmer, you can try a lutron dimmer switch but I don't believe it work because it is not a damnable driver

It's the same as the input voltage. This dimmer does not work by reducing the voltage.

I bought one at HomeDepot today and it does dim my dimmable LEDs which I recently purchased from Costco. No issue at all. In fact most of my old 1980s dimmers work fine for these bulbs. I guess you just need bulbs that say dimmable. They dim to a very low level with no flicker. The bulbs do not power off with the dim lever set to the lowest setting which I find useful. If your bulbs are dimmable save yourself 19 bucks and buy this. I bought one at HD and will buy 5 more here to save a few bucks.

Are you using this for LED tape light? The dimmer is rated for 12 volts. If you hook it up to a power source with a voltage greater than 12 volts the switch may work for awhile, but will eventually get fried.

One of them is dimmable. You could choose "Dimmable 5W AC 100V-130V"(ASIN: B00UL3HP68), and please note that it only can work in 100V-130V systems :)

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.

Yes. I have been looking for the same item and found Leviton 6628 dual slide dimmers which will work on either incandescent or magnetic transformers for LED strip lighting. If you are looking to dim an LED bulb you have installed in an incandescent can light, my experience is that all my incandescent dimmers installed ten years ago, before the advent of LED bulbs for can lights, are working just fine with no ghosting or flicker.

There are LED bulbs that will work with standard dimming switches. As there is no specific claim that this switch can control LED light levels, I would search for the LED bulbs that claim they can be controlled with a standard dimmer. There is a great write up from CNET on the 5 things you should know about LED lighting. I hope this helped.

Yes. I have only 2 wires in my hallway and only 2 in my bedroom. Each of those rooms has this dimmer working properly. So far, incandescents work very well with this switch. Dimmable CFLs and LEDs will work, but not as well.

I don't have this particular light fixture on a dimmer but I have two other fixtures, with the same type of bulbs, on standard dimmers and they work fine.

I got a slightly different model TBL03, but it looks the same. I use it for three lamps via a triple plug connected to the dimmer. It works well with LED lights so far. Mine is rated for max 300 W incandescent or 150 W LED/CFL. My LED bulbs are 9 W each, so x3 is only 27W total.

As of this writing, I have only used it with incandescent bulbs. Sorry, can't help.

I have always used magnetic low voltage dimmers. That's what I was told and I have never tried a conventional dimmer. I would say no.

Yes, I'm using several of them with Philips AmbientLED and all have worked with no problem. I needed to manually adjust the min setting so that I can use the full range of the dimmer and have not had a problem in over a year.

Hi, i dont know lutron dimmer but i have them connected with a zwave dimmer on the line voltage side. And the work ok! Regards!
