can I usea dimmer switch

Yes if you're using incandescent bulbs but CFL's have a tendency to flicker or not work with reduced power source. All the dimmer does is reduce the power to whatever is attached.

Typically the dimmer question has to do with the bulbs rather than the fixture itself. This fixture comes with 2 compact fluorescent bulbs that have pins in their bases. I gave those bulbs away and purchased ones that are not so bright. The bulbs are called GU24 bulbs, which refers to their 2 pin bases (rather than screw type). It is unlikely that the bulbs that come with the fixture are dimmable because dimmable fluorescents cost about $10 each, but you can buy your own. To be on the safe side, you might want to check with customer service at Maxlight to make sure this will work and not be dangerous.

Sorry, I didn't finish my thought. I assume you are using a fluorescent dimmer switch, one made specifically for fluorescent bulbs. Amazon has a few, the cheapest for ca. $30 Morris Products 82740 Fluorescent Dimmer, Ivory, Single Pole

Sorry, I don't know. I love the fixture but have it in the kitchen where I don't have a dimmer switch. I've had other fixtures hooked up to dimmers by an electrician and don't see any reason why this one couldn't be. Best to check with an electrician, though.

There is nothing from the manufacturer that states that these CANNOT be used with a dimmer, but I would ask a professional before installing.

Yes this can be connected to any domestic electrical switch however the dimmer needs to be for led lights. This isn't a problem as these are readily available at any Home Depot etc. you might be lucky and find that your existing dimmer works. Beware !!!!!! Once you have installed one of these set of lights you will become absolutely addicted and you will want to do the whole house.

No. The dimmer switch would need to be on a seperate circuit with the lights, different than the fan motor.

No. You must use a decent dimmer that's led capable. The old dimmers are hard on the electronics in the led

Hey Big Hank. To be honest I don't know the answer to that question. I'd "assume" you cant as I haven't had experience with many smart bulbs that work with dimmers. Well not unless you spend a good amount of money on them. These are fairly in-expensive in the grand scheme of bulbs. If you give it a whirl please let me know.

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

Touch dimmer is just like any other dimmers. As long as your dimmer switch is specifically CFL/LED dim compatible, then you should be fine.

You won't need a dimmer switch because it can't be dimmer than it already is. I bought two of these and put them inside my shop, at night you can't tell they are on

Yes you can controll dimmer only if use smart home controls like smartthings and other

They can be used with either a regular dimmer or with a standard light switch. In other words, you can use them just like a regular light bulb. I'm using mine on a regular on/off switch.

You can as long as the strips are connected in parallel. Keep the output rating of the strips in mind as this dimmer is rated at a max of 2A. Pulling more than that could be dangerous

I do not have mine hooked up to a dimmer, but I don' see why you couldn't. With a dimmer, the bulbs are more important than the lighting hardware.

yes you can, in the control there it is a function where you can dim the light, not from 0 to 100%, but you can dimmer it a little

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.

Yes, you can. I have 3 in a lamp over my pool table on a dimmer switch and they do dim just fine.
