I am trying to replace a halogen MR 11 15w 6v with this bulb. It is for a microscope. The switch is dimmable, will this work?

The manufacturers website (www.lightingever.com) states that this bulb is not dimmable.

I believe that these are designed for Malibu type outdoor systems which run on 12v AC.

read other comments not recommending it either, dimmers are a rheostat unit, the light may work, buy two just in case; also, this is a large bulb, 85w, but the light output is VERY bright.

I had to update to the new dimmable switches. Home Depot or Lowes will point you to the proper switch. The Old will not work properly.

http://www.lutron.com/en-US/Education-Training/Pages/LCE/DimmingBasics.aspxAccording to this, an incandescent dimmer should work with halogen as well, but your results may vary.

Hi, yes it will work with halogen bulbs, dimmers get more life out of your bulb, they will last a bit longer ...

I'm not sure but I don't see why not. We used ours with the existing switch so assuming is is a dimmer with appropriate bulb I would imagine it would work.

Absolutely. I replaced four halogen bulbs in a track light (Halo fixtures with individual transformers) with the Great Eagle bulbs. We replaced the old style flip switch with a new Lutron dimmer designed for compact flourescents and LED lights. We are very happy with the results. The output of the great eagle lights is "warmer" in color temperature than other LED lights, but acceptable - certainly for the price.

Yes, it will work fine, except the bulb will be less bright than when used with 12 volts.

Don't believe so for the bulb itself. Only if the switch is a dimmer switch would you have a dimmable item. By the way, these bulbs are not worth the money and trouble, they burn out very quickly. I want to find a different lightbulb source!

Yes. This should work. It is 8.6 inches in diameter with a 4-pin connection 55watts and 3500k. My replacement bulb matches the other original in our family room in color and luminnce and has worked well.

More than likely it will work fine the dimmer is simply changing the voltage the remote switch is just turning the voltage on and off

not an expert, but if you put in a bulb that works with a dimmer switch it would work fine. Some new LED's won't work with dimmer switch..it shows yes or no on the LEDpackage where I shop.

Yes, it should; I'm using a multi- LED light on it. I don't think you need dimable LEDs, this is on/off click, not a gradual lighting up. My first lasted about 8-9 years... This is my 2nd

My guess is the LED will work provided the LED unit is 110 volts and does not exceed the voltage or amperage of unit. I will say with confidence the unit has worked flawlessly since purchase with Flourescent bulbs. To be safe I would check with the mfg.

No. This is only for CFL, incandescent, and magnetic low voltage. An led lamp would require an electronic ballast and would require this switch: MRF2-6ELV-120. This switch is what you need for a dimmable led low voltage lamp.

Your dimmer switch doesn't have to be compatible, the light bulb does. It will say LED dimmable in description

I would guess that it is also dependent o n the dimmer itself. There could be interaction with certain brands.I have used this bulb with a Lutron dimmer and works perfectly.
