If I install this behind a standard dimmer, will I be able to control the lights via zwave and the physical dimmer?

No. You should not install a dimmer switch on the z-wave dimmer (dimmer on dimmer). Instead install a regular toggle switch or a momentary (push button) switch to operate the dimmer.

No. The connections only allow the dimmers to control the switch below each one.

Yes. I was able to install one of these dimmer switches next to a single pole switch in a double gang box. The dimmer controls 12 LED lights in my livingroom and is next to a switch for a ceiling fan. I am very happy with how well this dimmer performs.

Yes, I have this Lutron dimming switch installed with another standard non-dimming 3-way switch. Dimming is controlled at the Lutron swtich then either switch can control on-off. The standard 3-way will be limited by the dimmer setting when used as the on switch.

You'd have to use a control made for motors like for a ceiling fan. You couldn't use a dimmer switch like you use for a light switch.

FROM AEON's WEBSITE: For the control of LED lights with a trailing edge, Z-Wave dimming products are not suitable. From Liton's Site - Most CFL and LED dimmers are trailing edge type dimmers. Standard Dimmers are Leading Edge type dimmers. Therefore the answer seems to be NO, this will NOT work with dimmable LED bulbs. Using a standard dimmer with dimmable LED's will cause them to burn out very quickly. I burned out 3 of 5 in a chandelier this way.

You will have to install your own dimmer switch. The sets use standard bulbs, so they are dim able.

It will not work with a standard 3 way switch. You need to replace each 3-way with one of these. I used one of these and a 2334 Keypad dimmer switch. Either one can control the load, and the two devices are linked together. Be sure you have a neutral wire at each switch location. If it does not exist you should be able to use the existing 3 conductor cable to provide this.

Yes one remote would control both (or more than 2) dimmers. Unfortunately for those wanting to have several different sets of lights (for example ceiling lights and plugged in table lights on two different dimmers) this can't be done. All the remotes and switches use the same IR code so you can't address each dimmer separately. A big shame.

Hi! Yes, I am using mine with the GE 45602 Lamp Module Dimmer and it works perfectly. You just keep pushing the light button you want to control and that is it.

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.

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.

That's what I did...I had to bypass the dimmer switch (cut it out and splice the wires), but it works perfectly in that manner and I have the wires hidden.

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.

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

I put mine on a standard dimmer and it works fine. I've had it installed for a couple of years now, and have had no problems. Haven't even changed a bulb yet.

The standard wiring that comes with the unit is not designed to be hard wired, but if you have electrical know how, you can make the alterations successfully. I am not sure how that would impact any electrical code compliance. As for dimming, the instructions warn the user NOT to use it with a dimming circuit.
