what dimmer are you using that is fully compatible?

Hello I'm using an older model installed around the 90s.I bought these new bulbs thinking that there wouldn't be a problem, turns out I was wrong.Sorry I can't help you though

Good news, bad news. Bad news: sorry, I can't tell you which dimmer we use. Because good news: it was just the standard dimmer installed by a previous owner years ago for a halogen can, so I assume most standard dimmers work with this bulb.

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.

Just a standard incandescent dimmer by Lutron. Dv600pwh. Its a line voltage lamp, so low volt dimmers are necessary. You can also use DVCL dimmers by Lutron (recommended).

I actually had not even installed the dimmer before - just a regular 2 way switch. Bulb burned out anyway.

Used a GE 45602 Z-Wave Technology Lamp Module Dimmer, White, It works fine but is more of a step function (about 8-10 steps) with this bulb rather than fully continuous. It is however fine for my purposes. Other comments have suggested that it does the same on other led bulbs so don't know if it is the bulb, the dimmer, or this particular combination of bulb and dimmer that cause the step function. Hope that helps.

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.

I used: Ledwholesellers inline pwm 12v 2amp dimmer for led strips with DC jack. it works fine for what I need but the connections were a tiny bit looser than I would have liked but otherwise a good product for the price

No problem working with a dimmer. I love the light but will caution they have a disappointingly short life for the price.

I am not sure as I have not tried to add a dimmer yet. I would like to. Let me know if it works for you & let me know what dimmer you use

I think I installed one of these: Lutron, Diva, C*L™ Dimmers for Dimmable CFL & LED Bulbs, DVCL-153P-WH. It is very quiet, but not completely silent.

Hmm, I found this while running a search for dimmer switches! I'm curious if anyone knows if there is a similar switch made that also has a dimmer option included? I wasn't looking for something like this initially but love the idea!!

Usually this is because your dimmer isn't rated high enough wattage..... check the watts on the light and multiply by three..... go to the electrical supply house and they can get u a dimmer that will work with them

The LED Wholesalers website has a list of compatible dimmers and the DVLV-600P is on the list. http://ledwholesalers.com/instructions/dimmable_transformer_compatibility.htm

Definitely use the 26W unit. You may experience poor dimming operation at only half rated load on the 48W unit. I am using the 26W unit with only 10-12W load and it only dims to about 25% on a regular dimmer.

Nathan -- we have not tested those, but my guess is they will not. So far the only dimmer we have found to work is the Lutron Diva DVCL-153P. Sorry -- Barry, Brodwax on Amazon

You do not want to use the dimmer type. The switch that does not have the dimmer should work fine.

We used the Lutron Maestro dimmer for LEDs. Works perfectly. I would imagine there are other options, too. Lutron MACL-153M-WH Maestro 150-Watt Multi-Location CFL/LED Digital Dimmer

It could possibly be your dimmer. Not all dimmers are compatible with LEDs. Quite often you will need an electronic dimmer that is capable of dimming LEDs.

That's how I have mine set up; in line with a dimmer. It works well and has for the past six months or so. I'm not aware that you need a power supply that is specifically built for "dimming". As far as I know, any power supply will work as long as it outputs the correct voltage.

Two things about dimming. My dimmer was not compatible. Check the Philips list of ones that work perfectly.In spite of not being compatible they would dim way down. I dimmed the hall lights so our Video room would not have a glare from them. My guess would be over 80 dim. Not as good as old fashioned dimmers on a dinning room chandelier with incandescent lights but fairly close. Also be sure you have enough lights to meet the lowest wattage needed for the dimmer. Sounds complex but it isn't really. If you would like the PDF file with all the dimmers that work email me. I lost the site but have the list jhsnowden@ev1.net Two things about dimming.

No. Even though some CFL market themselves as dimmer compatible, they never work correctly and have a major flicker problem. It is better to have several smaller output bulbs that you can use in combination. If you must have a dimming bulb, try using a halogen incandescent.
