Will these lights turn on when they are dimmed to their lowest level or do you need to reset the light level to max and reduce to a lower level?

I have not had any issues with the dimmer switches. The lights work as they should on any setting. They will turn on at the lowest setting. So far I have purchase around 20 of these bulbs to replace the old style lights.

Yes, they will turn on at lowest light level. I've had trouble with certain brands of wall-switch dimmers. Some dimmer switches cause the lights to flash (when dimmed) for about 1 second (right after you turn the light on.) Other brands of wall-mounted dimmer switches work perfectly.

From my experience with these lamps, definitely not dim-able. I unknowingly installed three lamps on an toggle switch type electronic dimmer. Since I have surveillance cameras monitoring the illuminated area, we noticed after several hours of use (at approx 95% on) they started to flicker on off than just died. The vendor did replaced the " defective" lamps without issue. However, it wasn't until i installed the replacement lamps that I realized that the toggle switch was actually a dimmer and the people that turned the light on were inadvertently not turning them 'full on' causing the premature failure.

I am using LED bulbs and am dimming them with the switch. So far, no problems and is working fine...make sure the bulbs state they are, in fact, dimmable.

I have mine set that they are full on when motion is sensed. Than goes to full off. No dimming. Nor do I use the timer.

make sure you turn down the dimmer level located on the front of the metal box - I didn't notice this at first but there is a dial that can be shifted from "-" to "+" Once I turned it down, I discovered my LED lights dimmed down to almost nothing, which was my goal.

need more info.If started to flash when dimming to low end then read instructions-That dimmer may have a wheel or lever to ajust low end dimming. I have a several regular 120v skylarks on mine in different locations and they work fine

There's a dimmer. You can't use a dimmer switch (in the wall) with these. You have to use the dimmer that is included. If you plug the lights into a wall outlet that is itself controlled by a wall switch, and then you turn the wall switch on, the lights will come on to the level you left them at when you turned them on. That's how I do it here: get the set dimmed just the way I want them using the in-line dimmer, then turn on and off via the wall switch (or via an X-10 module). Either way the brightness level is remembered so you never have to set it again.

Yes, these are low profile and work great. I screwed in dimmable LEDs and they all turn on and off at the same time.

Only with a 12v dimmer switch. The better the quality of the dimmer switch, the lower it will dim down. Most cheap dimmers only dim to about 30%. A good one -+- $100 will dim down to zero

Michael M. I don't know what you are doing but I have several of these and never have an issue. Granted they are not the best quality but no reason for dimmer not to work with them. Do make sure the LED bulbs are dimmable, if they are not you will get a strobe light effect.

They are not made to be dimmable. They do dim but then burn out as a result of multiple dimming events.

i havent had any problems with them. so im assuming that its not normal, if its just one id change it, but it sounds like your saying all are dimming out. May be an alternative issue, but it could very well be possible that its the cheap lights!?

Yes, the lights go off completely, unless you select the "dim/full" option. I didn't go out to look at how this was done when I set it up, but that's how I set it up at installation. So, I don't use the dimming feature, just on/off. And, the on/off is enabled only at dusk. They go off on a timed setting, also selectable.

They shouldn't be lit at all with the switch off. There must be something wrong with your dimmer switch that it isn't going fully off. At my lowest dimmer setting the bulb will still have a dim glow but when switched off it's off. With that said some bulbs might have capacitors in them that could keep them lit for a short period after loss of power but if the bulb remains on for a long period I would check your switch.

Yes. I have mine on a dimmer and they look gorgeous in the lower light setting.

I have the same combo and I adjusted as far as it goes. When switched on when dimmer is on full bright, they flash. If dimmer is all the way down before they are switched on and off, they work without flashing.

I am using these with LEDs. Did you hook up neutral and are the lights known to be dimmable? Not all LEDs are...
