Can dimmer be plugged into an outlet controlled by wall switch? Can I set dimmer at a certain setting and turn on/off from wall switch?

I didn't use a dimmer, but yes you can Plug to the outlet and control by wall switch. I think you can replace wall switch by dimmer too

Here is a link to the Amazon entry for the rotary dimmer: Lightkiwi® S4170 Rotary Dimmer Switch for Modular LED Under Cabinet Lighting

I would just remove the dimmer and plug directly into a switch-controlled outlet. You could use a dimmer switch to control the outlet, which would accomplish your objective.

Yes, but you need to replace the supplied dimmer(s) with rotary dimmer(s) available from LightKiwi for about $9 each. The rotary dimmers do not reset when switched off and work fine on a switched outlet.

No, The dimmer we received with ours will return to the "lights off" setting when power is removed and restored. You must press the "power on" button and reset the light level after power is disconnected. Also note the circuit (dimmer with red LED and transformer) draws about 1W when counter lights are off. We have 5, 12" sections and they draw about 13W total when on. You could use the Lightkiwi dimmable transformer with a dimmer switch on the wall, or you might be able to find a similar PWM control with a memory or fixed control knob to replace the Lightkiwi dimmer. The power button is a little hard to find mounted under the cabinet. The old florescent lights that these replaced were touch sensitive. We love the lights and they are bright enough that we often use the dimmer.

I tried to do that and it didn't work. The on/off switch on the dimmer goes to the off position at the loss of power and stays there if external power is applied. So you have to use the little dimmer switch provided for on/off operation. You could do this (use the wall switch) if you wire around the on/off switch in the dimmer

Yes it can be connected to a dimmer. However make sure you get bulbs that are compatible for dimming. Some of the low energy bulbs will not work. Check the bulb packaging.

Sorry, I can't help. I used this fixture in a rental unit and it is wired to use the switch on the fixture onlyMy guess is that if it is hardwired to the wall switch you will need to keep the fixture on and just use the wall switch. That is true with lamps that are plugged into a wall outlet that is wired to a wall switch.

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.

The lamp is equipped with only a twist on/off switch. You may be able to plug it into an outboard dimmer before going into the wall outlet.

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.

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.

No. A non-dimmable bulb no matter if it's LED or CFL is still non-dimmable. To control a non-dimmable bulb with a wall switch use INSTEON ToggleLinc Relay model 2466S

Sorry, the dimmer switch on the wall will not work. There is a transformer between the wall power and the dimmer switch on the light cord and that effectively means the wall switch will not work. These are great lights anyway and I really like mine.

May be ok to use in a location w a dimmer switch but it will NOT dim .. Just turn on or off

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.

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).

No. Wired using the included wall plug line, it plugs directly into a std 110 volt outlet. When wired to a 110 volt wall switch you use the included, in line dimmer module.

not sure what dimmer option you are referring to. the control has 3 settings that were included. I actually leave mine on the dimmest setting at all times. love these lights and would definately buy again.

Dimmer potential is NOT in the light fixture but in the wall switch. Notice what Robert E wrote: "mine is on a dimmer switch."

Yes, you can use a dimmer if you get one that is rated for led such as lutron. I would purchase from an electrical supply house to ensure you are sold the proper dimmer.

We hard-wired this as a ceiling fixture on the double-height ceiling of our living room, so that the on/off switch is a regular wall-mounted dimmer. But I believe there is a small switch on the cover plate. We mounted two of these on the ceiling as a pinpoint light to highlight artwork on the walls, and they're discrete and cheap!
