Does the switch provided have a dimmer on it, or do I need to buy one separately? (LEDs won't work with my old incandescent lamp's dimmer, right?)

These LED's have a switch that is dim-able, but if you have a dimmer on the wall it will conflict with the sets dimmer. You would need to buy a separate (24volt 20 watt) dim-able transformer and bypass the one supplied if you want to use a wall dimmer. Also the wall dimmer would have to be LED friendly (magnetic).

Correct, no Dimmer just on/off and a dimmer will not work with incandescent light, but with this it will!

There's a dimmer. You can't use a dimmer switch (in the wall) with these. You have to use the dimmer that is included. If you plug the lights into a wall outlet that is itself controlled by a wall switch, and then you turn the wall switch on, the lights will come on to the level you left them at when you turned them on. That's how I do it here: get the set dimmed just the way I want them using the in-line dimmer, then turn on and off via the wall switch (or via an X-10 module). Either way the brightness level is remembered so you never have to set it again.

Yes, it has a dimmer. There are no instructions that I found, but just hold the button down and it will dim. Just pressing the button turns them on full.

I am using the bulbs, but not in a dimming application. I do know (from previous experience), that you should use a dimmer that says it will work with LEDs.

Mine is not dimmable. Foot switch just an on/off button. But I do love the lamp.

Your dimmer switch doesn't have to be compatible, the light bulb does. It will say LED dimmable in description

Only if you want to dim the bulb. If it's just going to come on and off then a regular switch will do. If you want to dim the bulb be careful to get a dimmer made for led bulbs as many dimmers don't work at such a low wattage.

No switch, its on as soon as you plug it in. Not sure about the dimmer. I do know mine shorted and melted the wires after about 3hrs of use, if you end up buying it id take the back panel off and make sure all the wires aren't chaffed.

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.

Hi There,I wish I could answer you but my application does not make use of a dimmer just a standard on/off switch. Based on my experience with LED technology I would only trust the manufacturer in the case GE to answer the question. When I ordered the bulb I spoke to GE tech support and they were very helpful and responsive. I hope this help you.Fred Thomas

Yes, this dimmer, and in fact all dimmers, will work with dimmable LED lights. It just won't work well. There are a number of drawbacks to using a standard dimmer with LED lights, including the light not getting as dim as it could and not lighting-up if the dimmer is set too low. I don't *think* it has any effect on the lifetime of the led bulb. If you want to control dimmable LED lights (and dimmable CFLs) then you need a HID dimmer to rectify the shortcomings of a standard dimmer. I personally have only standard dimmers in my now totally LED lit home, but I will slowly be swapping out the old dimmers for new HIDs.

You cannot use a standard dimmer switch for LED lighting and will need a basic lighting controller such as a Chauvet Obey 3 if you want to be able to dim them.

I haven't seen anything on the lamp itself that could be a dimmer. I think if it were plugged into an outlet with a dimmer switch that would work.

No these lamps are not equipped with a dimmer. Just an on and off switch on the cord.

Yes. I installed one with mine and it works great. Make sure dimmer switch is compatible with LED lamps.

If you are asking if this light comes with a dim feature, the answer is no. It is very basic. However, I would imagine just about any lighting will work with an existing dimmer switch, but that would be a question for an electrician.

I used an electronic dimmer switch and it works like a charm I got mine at Ace Hardware for less than $20. Remember you are controlling the power to the Ballast not the Lamp

It does not come with a dimmer switch. Although, having one would have been helpful as it is capable of getting very hot. But please, don't feel obligated to install one- that can be dangerous with this product.
