Can this be used with LED bulbs on a dimmer?

My building guy recommended regular-style bulbs with the dimmer switch; I am not certain why.

Yes, it can. That's what we did. But, there are daylight LEDs and soft light LEDs. The store was out of soft light, so I bought daylight, I will be switching those back to soft light.

I have reg. bulbs with a dimmer on my lamp. My electrician said I would need a different dimmer switch to use with LED bulbs.

Yes, works great with CFL, which are what I'm using. I believe it shouldn't be a problem with LEDs as well. This switch is not a dimmer, it is 100% on or 100% off on a timer. My understanding is that some CFL and LED bulbs can not be dimmed which would be a problem if one were to use them on a dimmer 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.

I have used it with a CFL, but I don't know if it will work with a LED bulb.

I'm not sure it will work with a dimmer switch check with an electrical store selling lamps.

Most any dimmer will "work" with a dimmable bulb, but the low priced dimmers don't dim as well. Not a smooth transition, flickering, etc.

Yes, I do not know of any reason why a dimmer switch would not operate a LED bulb that can be screwed into a socket.

Yes. I believe this dimmer is suitable for led bulbs and should definitely allow the brightness of those bulbs to be adjusted lower.

I used this dimmer with several strings of lights on my christmas tree, it worked well, incandescent bulbs only I believe, I would guess that led won't dim properly with this

The bulb is non-dimmable according to the Plumen website and should not be used with a dimmer. http://usshop.plumen.com/products/plumen-001-screw-fitting

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.

I am sure, its not possible to install a dimmer, it uses a fluorescent circular bulb, it won't dim.

the lamp i put mine in wasnt a dimming lamp so i dont know FOR SURE.....but LEDs are tough and long lasting and I'd be very surprised if this bulb couldnt dimm when put in a fixture controlled with a proper Dimmer switch

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

Yes you can. LED lights may not work with this dimmer, but regular incandescent lights will. Just remember that if you want to fade the lights, to set dipswitch 11 and 12 to the ON position (off for switching mode)

While I have not used these with a dimmer switch, I see no reason why not. In effect the converter is just a conductor between the two different types of connectors.

I do not have a dimmer switch, but fluorescent bulbs generally are not suitable for dimming. So my answer is no, you cannot use them with the dimmer switch.
