My track light system, 12 yrs old, has a Lutron Skylark electronic low-voltage dimmer. Has anyone tried these bulbs with similar system? Successful?

Yes and no. Limited levels of dimming at low levels. At a certain point they just shut off. It's decent though. Though if you have any halogen bulbs in the track, they will be much dimmer at the same level.

Find one with a higher wattage equivalent, they work but not as bright as i would like.I also need to keep one of the original bulbs in the circut. (7) LED & (1) regular filament bulb.If I didn't bulbs would constantly flash. Has to do with Malibu transformer voltage regulator.

This dimmer will work on the LED bulbs in R.V. Please make sure the battery has to be a stable 12 volts battery and the total wattage of the light bulbs can't excess the maximum load of the dimmer.

The min/max wattage comment (by Scott) is spot on. My fixture had 3 dimmable LEDs and I had flickering. I swapped out one LED bulb for an incandescent to get above the min wattage. All flickering is gone. dimming works as expected.

I used regular bulbs......led dimmers were too expensive; therefore, I haven't tried.

I used a lyton electronic LED dimmer. Works perfectI would imagine the old triac dimmers would not work well . . .

Lutron SCL-153P-WH Skylark CL 150-watt CFL/LED/Incandescent Dimmer, WhiteThis is the one I used but any dimmer that will work with cfl/led bulbs can be used. This one is adjustable to lower the light output to roughly 20% of full brightness.

I would check the Lutron website, they have a long list of dimmable CFLs and LEDs that are fully compatible with this dimmer. The customer support line is also very helpful.

As long as the bulbs are dimmable it should work. It is a nice multi programmable dimmer. I am using feit bulbs on all my lutron dimmers. They are not on lutrons list, when asked why they told me they either weren't tested or won't work, no help. They do work, some do have a slight buzz on lower levels.

I'm doubtful that it would work "out of the box" with an aftermarket dimmer. Fluorescent bulbs in general must be specifically manufactured as dimmable models, so it would probably be wise to contact Northern Light Technologies directly before buying.

Lutron's "C*L Dimmer" Maestro line is made for use with dimmable LED and CFL bulbs (search model # MACL&#8209;153M). Even though you're not *supposed* to use LED's with this, I would think that as long as you have 60W total worth of bulbs running through it, it will be fine. For example, I currently have 6 recessed can flood lights running on one of these switches...if I switch to 65W-equivalent LEDs that will be roughly 57W...pushing my luck, but I expect it will work (I realize this isn't very helpful until I test it...just saying if it controls a single 60W incandescent bulb just fine, it should theoretically run six 10+ watt dimmable LED bulbs just fine as well. Would be very curious to see if anyone has tried this out that can confirm they were using this model of the Lutron switch and not one of the C*L's.

They will dime quite well. Lutron is a very good product. Lighting and lighting controls is what they specify in. They will dim down to 10 percent and sometimes less depending on the brand of LED bulb. I posted a link a few questions back on ALl the types of bulbs lutron dimmers are compatible with.

i had no issue with it working the flourescents i had a pair of them and it works great. your mileage may vary. also my flourecents used the newer ballast system instead of the old style.

I am having no problems with my led bulbs. I have been told that some of the less expensive dimmers don't work with led bulbs.

I only wired them up to 12 volt in my motorhome. Had four fixtures with two bulbs in each. All were wired to one circuit. Found with all eight on they were not bright enough. I tried pulling one bulb out of two different fixtures. They worked great. Have one set with two on a circuit and another with four, Those work great. I was going through 6-8 of the old flouresant bulbs a year. The oldest ones in our motorhome are two years old now. Have not had to replace any. Just be careful with too many on a circuit. Have no idea if they will work with 120 volts. Manufactures website should tell you that. I only wired them up to 12 volt in my motorhome. Had four fixtures with two bulbs in each.

According to Lutron's spec sheet it is not an LV dimmer: http://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/369613a.pdfI'd recommend calling their customer service - they are pretty good at helping you pick the right item for your application.Additionally, the company providing your lighting may have recommendations on specific models or types of dimmers they recommend or have tested. The folks I bought my LED system from did have specific dimmers that they had tested with their products, and which work great.
