Do these work with dimmable chandeliers? Hard to find that info but I assume most do

Yes they do. All incandescent lights are dimmable. I also have these in a dimming dining room chandelier.

Not dimmable. Not even with a dimmer made for dimmable LED bulbs. Heck, mine melted & died within a few months of normal use (without a dimmer), and my electric bill spiked that month. I can't recommend these bulbs at all. I've had great success with LEDs advertised as dimmable, especially those made by EcoSmart (CREE LEDS) or Philips -- but I only use them with dimmers made to work with LEDs.

The other respondent appears to be wrong; or lucky. We ordered them and they don't work with the dimmer in our kitchen. Now that we have the box, can see that nothing indicates they would be dimmable. Work otherwise, just a warning to others who may not be sure...

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

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.

I believe you do. The same thing happened to me. I called the distributor of the bulbs and they confirmed that the dimmer model I was using was not compatible. I would recommend calling them to see if any dimmer is compatible, since the specs say they are NOT dimmable. Dimming was not critical for me, so I replaced the dimmer with a simple switch and have had no problems.

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.

Yes,make sure the LED bulbs are dimmable. I use LED bulbs and dimmers with these all the time.

They do work with a dimmer but I bought three of them and one by one they all failed with the first 60 days.

They likely will not, unfortunately. We have found the only reliable dimmer to be a Lutron Diva - DVCL-153P, available here on Amazon. -- Barry - Brodwax on Amazon

I have these on dimmers in two rooms and I just used the same dimmers that where in the wall switch for the incandescent bulbs. I know that works. Specialized Halogen bulbs may have a different voltage and current range and I'm not certain whether your dimmers are specialized for a particular system. But, if it's the type of dimmer that would work just as well with a standard bulb, it should work with these.

I don't know why they would not. I haven't used these bulbs with a dimmer switch. I have flood light on one, but I have used a dimmer switch owith small, regular, decorative bulbs in a chandelier.

yes they should but i haven't tried them in a chandelier, only in a ceiling fan.

They absolutely work with LED bulbs. You have to slide it all the way on and then adjust downward. With an 8watt LED bulb the I found the response to be very even all the way down. No buzz at the light or at the dimmer. Dimmer stays cool --but an 8 watt bulb isn't much.

I know this question is a year old, but I just wanted to confirm for anyone interested that these devices do work with Philips and Cree brands of dimmable 60W equivalent that I purchased at Home Depot. The low is not as dim as an incandescent used on this device, but you do get 3 levels starting from more of a 'medium' brightness.

No they are not dimmable it must be something they have installed. They are very nice though but make sure you check the bulbs carefully if you order them. One of mine had a small crack in one of the bulbs. I contacted the manufacture and they sent me a replacement right away. Hope that helps.
