Will it work well with a dimmer like the GE bulbs do?

The Cree 18-watt bulb does work with a dimmer. I am using it with this one: Lutron TTCL-100H-WH Credenza Dimmable CFL/LED Dimmer, White

The Cree 18-Watt works fine in a touch lamp with 3 settings, but I have not tried it on a regular dimmer or compared it to a GE bulb.

You really need a dimmer that is made for cfl and led bulbs. This one might work but it will flutter on low .

If your bulb is standard incandescent then this dimmer will work fine on any setting of the lamp. Make sure the bulb maximum wattage is less than the Lutron rating. You may just want to set the lamp to its brightest and use the Lutron to set the actual light level.

Yes. It works really well l. The dimmer switch set on low cast a really pretty soft light thanks to the shade.

This Maestro dimmer should work with LED bulbs as well. I do not know any specific about GU10.

Yes, this dimmer, and in fact all dimmers, will work with dimmable LED lights. It just won't work well. There are a number of drawbacks to using a standard dimmer with LED lights, including the light not getting as dim as it could and not lighting-up if the dimmer is set too low. I don't *think* it has any effect on the lifetime of the led bulb. If you want to control dimmable LED lights (and dimmable CFLs) then you need a HID dimmer to rectify the shortcomings of a standard dimmer. I personally have only standard dimmers in my now totally LED lit home, but I will slowly be swapping out the old dimmers for new HIDs.

LED bulbs run on DC and come equipped with an AC converter. I don't think the converter would stand up too well on a dimmer, but if you can find LED bulbs that specifically say "dimmable", then go for it. The par 20's (LED) that I use in my kitchen specifically say "dimmable".

Yes the bulbs can work with dimmers and it tends to extend the life of the bulb and reduce eye strain

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

I am using the bulbs, but not in a dimming application. I do know (from previous experience), that you should use a dimmer that says it will work with LEDs.

I would not recommend it. Usually it will make a noise and flicker unless on the bulb package it says can be used with a dimmer switch

Yes. I used this bulb to replace a halogen g9 bulb. I've had it for a few weeks now. So far, it's worked quite well. Though, I don't know how well it will work with a dimmer switch. Not all LED bulbs are dimmable, and I haven't tried using this one with a dimmer. If your light is not on a dimmer switch, that should not be a problem.

We didn't use dimmable bulbs, but my electrician husband says that if it is a dimmable bulb it should work.

No this will not work. It has a high and low, that is it. No dimmer as described in the description.

Yes - of course it depends what kind of light bulb you put in it. I have 3 LED bulbs that work great on a dimmer. CFLs will not work as we'll.

Hi, this depends on what type of switch it is. I think this product is a 2 way switch. If it is, no it won't work. If you are installing this in a 3 way setup where there is another 3 way switch, then the dimmer has to be a 3 way dimmer switch. Another thing to keep in mind is that the light you want to dim has to be able to be dimmable. Example, if it is a flourescent light it must be a dimmable type. Usually incandescent or halogen bulbs are used where dimmers are used. Hope this helps

I'm not sure. It won't work the 3-way bulb like the lamp is designed, but it should still work as a dimmer with whatever bulb is in the lamp.
