Do the halogen bulbs work with a dimmer switch ?

Hi. I haven´t try them with a dimmer switch but i cant see the reason why they would´t...

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.

No, the ones I received only had a switch. These are not really bright lamps, so to me a dimmer wouldn't be necessary.

I don't know however I can tell you that my dimmer switches will not allow the bulbs to go all the way off!

Yes, and as far as I know just about every lighting fixture is dimmable with the right type of bulb and the right type of dimmer switch for the bulb that you have. I know these work with incandescent, CFL and LED dimmable bulbs (with a dimmer switch designed to control all three types).

I have only once tried to dim them using a Lutron dimmer that successfully dimmed six 50w halogen bulbs in a single fixture. This particular dimmer did not work with these LED bulbs. Perhaps another dimmer might but I don't have an installation to test them.

Yes, Mine is on a dimmer switch and is working fine. I use regular light bulbs, not the cfls.

Despite conflicting answers, these bulbs are dimmable. One can be sure of this because 1) Every halogen bulb is an incandescent bulb 2) Every incandescent bulb is dimmable.

I really don't know. I don't have any of them connected to a dimmer switch. I'm using them specifically for the bright light they produce. I wouldn't dim them myself.

I use these in my under cabinet lighting over my kitchen counter top. The lighting has three brightness settings. I dont know how they would be on a dimmer switch but i assume they would work.

The dimmer switch won't work because the light have an inline convertor that controls the dimming. At least I don't think it would be recommended to use the dimmer switch with them.

Dimmers affect only the bulbs and not fixtures. If your switch is a dimmer it will be for incandescent or flourescent lamps. You can install dimmable or non-dimmable LED lamps.

Some Halogens specify dimmible and some don't.............. i have had good luck with this switch & the halogens that say dimmible with some switches

!i Yes the dimmer will work, but you have to check the LED bulbs carefully. I have found dimmable bulbs like the CREE line of LEDs to work just fine. Other "dimmable LEDs" have not worked very well. Some Phillips and FEIT bulbs would blink rapidly or hum loudly.

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 have used mine with normal incandescent bulbs and LEDs without a problem. I have not used this dimmer with a Halogen bulb but do not see that the Halogen should be any different than a normal incandescent bulb as far as the dimmer is concerned.

Yes it can be used with a dimmer switch I just installed one. You must separately purchase a GU24 Dim-able bulb (Lowes sells them) and make sure your dimmer switch is CFL compatible. If you've ever installed in house lighting fixtures before this one is no different, its very easy.
