will this work with dimmable LED lighting? Some dimmers make LED lights flicker.

This does not dim my FEIT BR40 LED bulbs. I just wrote to Feit asking for an explanation since there website list this dimmer as being compatible. -Update, I still have not heard back from FEIT. I tried to send them another email today. I also wrote to Lutron today as well. I'll update if/when I get a response.

I downloaded the manual for this dimmer and it states quite clearly that it is intended for incandescent and halogen bulbs only.

I don't know about this particular dimmer, but I have several on this type of Insteon dimmer, Insteon 2477DLAL SwitchLinc INSTEON Remote Control Dual-Band Dimmer, Light Almond and they do work, but I have to say they tend to flicker a bit a lower power settings.

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.

I use the dimmers with LED lights, but according to the manufacturer, they're supposed to work with CFLs as well.

Probably not. In my experience, when you try to use a standard dimmer on "dimmable" LED lights, it does not work. The wattage is different. Usually if it is a group of lights they cannot all be LED; you have to put one or two incandescent lights in the circuit so the dimmer works.Hope this helps.

I am using the previously installed dimmers meant to work with incandescent bulbs. The dimming range of LED bulbs is not as extensive as when using incandescent bulbs.

yes...but the dimming feature will only work on LEDs that have that ability.

hello thank you fro the question and interest. Yes this will work on a dimmer switch and the color are darker when not lit

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!

It also didn't work with an LED bulb I tried. All it did was Dim the bulb. The bulb I tried was not dimmable. Wondering if a Dimmable LED bulb would work. I tried 3 different brands of CFLs and one of them did work without flickering. The CFL bulb that worked was a 7 watt Greenlite which I received from my electric company.

Most LED bulbs don't work with dimmer switches, even if they are matched. The technology isn't up to speed with them. You're better off getting halogen bulbs. I have 6 bulbs that don't work properly.

Yes, the fixture will work with a dimmer switch. You will have to make sure that you match the dimmer switch with the type of bulb you are using. Make sure the bulb is dimmable and the switch is designed for the type of bulb...incandescent, CFL, LED.

I don't think they are designed to flicker. LED lights are sometimes dimmable but usually they're either on or off.

Usually dimmable refers to light bulbs. So if you put a dimmable light bulb into it, it should work.

I believe it depends on the LED lights themselves. I used this dimmer with incandescent lights but some under counter LED lights I'm looking at show this same dimmer as a dimmer option for them.

I have reg. bulbs with a dimmer on my lamp. My electrician said I would need a different dimmer switch to use with LED bulbs.

Yes. I've tested it with a dimmable halogen equivalent LED bulb (120V input / 4W output). However, I'm not sure if it works with other types of LED lights, and it seems that it dims the light a little bit.
