What bulb do you use to make the dimming feature work? I've tried incandescent dimmable bulbs, and it doesn't work?

When I used it with this bulb, it worked for me: Triangle Bulbs T90020 (Pack of 2) G16 Decorative Globe Light Bulbs 300 Lumen 5-watt LED Light Bulb with E26 Base, Color 3000K, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

We just use typical incandescent chandelier size bulbs (they are about 3 inches long and the glass swirls around slightly. There really isn't a "dimming" feature, the touch light just lights up in steps (three) from not much light up to full watt strength. It's a toggle mechanism so if you are at the strongest level of light, the next touch turns the light off and you then start over at the bottom by touching the metal. [Apologies if this is way more info than you needed or if you already knew all this -- if it's not working properly, perhaps you just got a defective light.]

These lamps are cheap and flimsy and I wish I hadn't bought them. I could not get the dimming feature to work.

We got chandeleir lights. The lights were for my daughter and she had no idea what to get.when we got down there we went to Walgreens and picked them up. You may want to bring a lamp in there with you

If you are talking about these lamps, just tap the lamp and it has a 3-way bulb. If you are talking about a different light, you will need a dimmer switch in the wall like for a light hanging over your table.All I can tell you. These lamps worked great for me.

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.

I use LUTRON C.L Dimmers. They work for all types of bulbs. If there is buzzing with these dimmer switches then there is a problem with the bulb and you should return it.

I've not tried this one, but I have other LED bulbs in DC dimming sockets that behave erratically when dimming. Dimming on LEDs is usally done by turn them on and off at different rates.

Illy-Den, can you tell me which specific halogen bulb to use? The previous bulb was a standard incandescent dimmable and I have been without the use of this fixture for months trying to find the appropriate one.

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 bought the 100 watt CFT lightbulbs. What dimmer works with it? Did I need to purchase "dimmable" bulbs?

Hey Big Hank. To be honest I don't know the answer to that question. I'd "assume" you cant as I haven't had experience with many smart bulbs that work with dimmers. Well not unless you spend a good amount of money on them. These are fairly in-expensive in the grand scheme of bulbs. If you give it a whirl please let me know.

Contact manufacturer. Did you get plug in automatic dimmer? You just touch pole and it will dim to where you like it with all bulbs on. Home Depot has them. Its great!

Are they CFL light bulbs? I heard, but don't know for sure, that they may not be able to be dimmed. I'm probably all wet. My Lutron works GREAT and I love it. So sorry for your woes.

I have Lutron dimmer and this bulb doesn't work with it. I used Philips instead

It works with my LED light, but I have noticed odd behavior when the dimmer is on lower settings. There is a momentary delay before the bulb emits light, and once the bulb is lit, it has a tendency to vary in brightness. I don't notice this with incandescent bulbs on the same switch. Full disclosure: I live in an old house so this may be a result of older wiring.

I have several LED type bulbs in my house, and the only ones I can get this to work with are the CREE Daylight White 40 watt equivalent (6 watt) the others I have are either not rated for DIMMER use or when in the "Off" setting the 60 watt or 100 watt version of the CREE bulbs stay on dimly.

What kind of LED light bulbs are you using? Typically with my experience its usually the bulbs that cause the flickering. These evolve dimmers work very well on most DIMMABLE led bulbs. Try ecosmart bulbs from homedepot or any lighting science led bulbs made for dimmable capabilities. Best of luck!

Lutron dimmers work. They have several dimmers so be sure you select one that supports LED. good luck!

It would be helpful to you to call Lutron and ask them about your specific situation. They are very helpful and will tell you which dimmer will work best.

What type of bulb are you using? The lamp works best with regular incandescent or the newest dimmable LED bulbs. CFL's are not compatible with this lamp
