Can this light be direct hardwired to a dimmer switch. I will have four on the circuit Thanks

I have been impressed with these lights, good product for the price and easy to install.

I have 11 on each circuit on a built-in entertainment center; they are on the Lutron Maestro with Pico wireless remote dimmers. Work great. With any LED you can only dim so far before they start to flicker, but they drop to a nice low light and color is still good.

Yes, however the dimmer must be made for Led's one of the old cheapy may not work. Also they will not fully dim before they go off so the brightness will only dim about halfway before they go out. The more of these you have on one circuit the more they will dim. Some dimmers switches will do better than others about how well they will dim also. But when you buy a dimmer it must say for LED lights on the box. The dimmers usaully will cost around 20 bucks. Hope that helps...

I think that you will have to wire them parallel. Each light has it's own transformer built in. Make sure that your dimmer can carry the load. Take note, I have never done this, but I am an experienced electrician. I would try parallel.

I hard wired mine to a regular on/off switch. Not sure how it would work with a wall dimmer since LEDs need their driver to be dimmable. There is a bit of lag time when turning them on. You still need to use their little ac to dc converter. Just snip off the plug and connect to your hard wires.

Yes I direct wired it but I left the switch on and hid it under my dash so if I wanted it could easily change the pattern. It is a good bright light.

If wired to a dimmer switch it can be and depended on the bulbs as well. We didn't have a dimmer switch but we still love it.

This light is designed to be hardwired to a circuit, no 3-prong plug is provided (though I suppose you could wire one to it).

So it can be hard wired to an existing light switch? I'm thinking of getting three of these for my kitchen ceiling.

Sorry this model can not connect a dimmer switch. we also have 1 new model can connect with dimmer switch. you can see that later .

There is power connection at one end and connection to next unit at other end -- if you have other end. I hooked two together and put the third one on a separate dimmer switch. They are great.

yes it can be wired to a standard light switch. that is what i did. it runs my homemade lathe

Yes, totally possible. Just don't connect the dimmer and plug the power adapter direct to the lights. If you use the dimmer, you will have to use the button on it to turn it on and off.

Mine is hard wired to a switch. I don't know whether you could install it so as it use a pull chain or not.

Thank you for your inquiry. The dimmer switch can be installed anywhere in the line of lights but only the lights that are installed after the dimmer switch can be controlled with dimmer switch. Therefore, we would recommend to install dimmer switch between power supply and the first light. If there is any additional question, please feel free to let us know. Thank you.

NO< NO< NO>. This kit comes complete with three way dimmer and on/off switch built in transducer that reduces/changes the to low voltage. Similar to the small diode lights on a xmas tree. Attempting to hardwire would cause a fire.

Mine is wired through a dimmer in the wall switch. The dimmer worked with the rope lights that I replaced with these LED's, but does NOT work with these lights.

To give an easy answer, yes. This light has a mounting bracket and it can easily be mounted just about anywhere wide enough to allow for it. The light can be wired to an existing switch as long as you have access to the "hot" or power wire coming from the switch.

The LED lights themselves **CAN** be hard-wired, and they **CAN** use a wall dimmer, but **NOT** with the provided power supply -- the manufacturer also offers a dimmable transformer, available on Amazon as ASIN B0058WSNUE http://www.amazon.com/Inspired-LED-4789-Dimming-Transformer/dp/B0058WSNUE/ref=sr_1_17?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1379890406&sr=1-17 and that's what is needed to use a standard dimmer in a wall box. Wiring instructions for doing so can be found at the Inspired website. They recommend the Lutron DVLV-600 (available on Amazon) or AYLV-600 dimmers, but the manufacturer has a list of about 50 dimmers that will work. Most Lutron "magnetic low voltage" dimmers (readily found at Home Depot) work perfectly with this system. All you do is put the dimmer in the wall in place of an ordinary light switch, and then connect the transformer to the other end of the circuit exactly as if the transformer were a standard light fixture. The transformer can be directly wired into the circuit, or it can be plugged into an outlet that is controlled by the wall dimmer. NOTE: the kits are intended to have the LEDs plug directly into the transformer, though you can run appropriate DC wire through the walls if that is necessary for your application.
