Almost sold on this light fixture. My site conditions make hard-wiring impossible. Can anyone recommend a dimmable power cord?

This fixture is only designed for fixed installations. It is a halogen bulb and consequently runs very hot. I have put it on an occupancy switch to insure it turns off when not in use. If you use a separate power cord, I would recommend insulation rated at at least 140 degrees C.

To be safe, call Lutron customer service and ask if this combination would be compatible. Amazon may be able to answer also.

Although not the best manual I do have the instruction sheet the equipment came with and I was able to use that to succesfully wire the dimmer. If you want I can upload the photo of the manual.

I agree with Dylan. Just make sure you have purchased the connectors required to place the dimmer in the location you need it.

my light switch was not a dimmer no. but neither was another fixture I purchased, and we switched out light switch and converted it to one no problem. just didn't try with this.

I would assume you probably can wire a dimmer type of a switch to it that will work with the low-voltage lighting. The unit itself just has a light sensor which allows your low-voltage lights to come on and turn off automatically. If you purchase a dimmer switch, make sure it's for low-voltage outdoor lighting and is weather resistant if it is exposed to the outdoors. Also you may want to contact the manufacturer and ask them if a dimmer switch is something that would be safe to wire to the unit. Hope this helps. Good luck, Yuri

Contact manufacturer. Did you get plug in automatic dimmer? You just touch pole and it will dim to where you like it with all bulbs on. Home Depot has them. Its great!

I don't know what do you mean by plug. ?? There is no plug with this fixture. For less brightness you can use lower watt bulbs or probably a dimmer.

First, the unit won't operate unless you have an active ground connection. The instructions are poor in that they don't show the complete circuit to the light. Basically, run your power cable through the switch box to the light fixture; the black wires of the switch will be spliced into the black "hot" wire of the cable; the green wire of the switch will be connected to (but not interrupt) the ground wires of the cable. The white "neutral" wire will run only to the light - bad design in my opinion, because the switch uses ground instead of neutral to complete its control circuit, but apparently it meets electrical code or could not be marketed.

Unfortunatly it's not possible because of the led lamp. Even My electrician couldn't find a work around

lol I had the same problem. I think u might be trying cfl bulbs,as i am, to save the energy cost. Maybe try an incandescent bulb (but they cost more to use) .... maybe >>>> LE® 3W G14 E26 LED Bulbs, 25W Incandescent Bulb Equivalent, Not Dimmable, 200lm, Warm White, 2700K, 180° Beam Angle, LED Light Bulbs, Pack of 2 Units OR (4 Pack) 100-Watt G25 Medium (E26) Base Globe Incandescent Light Bulb White

Personally, I would stay away from this light fixture. I had multiple issues with the hardware. First the controller died on me prior to using it (during the set-up and build stage it sat for about two months then went to use it and it flickered and died). I contact customer service which they were very helpful and got parts out to me to fix without charge. Now I've have two of the three LED lights (night) burned out (only 5 months of use). So I will have to contact them again. In hindsight, I wish I had gone with LEDs.

If you use a small screw driver you may be able to lighty lift up the center contact to allow the bulb to connect in the direction you need. Do this only with the POWER OFF to the fixture. It worked for me.

honestly, I had a big rookie mistake... I'd rather get LED strips/driver than this very expensive one... there's a bunch of LED strips online that work with dimmer switch.. Best thing is it's only going to cost you around $30 that has about 600LEDS.....

I originally ordered the dimmer but ran into the same issue - if the power is turned off at the wall switch, you have to turn it back on at 2 places - first the wall switch, then the dimmer. I returned the dimmer and solved the issue by replacing the wall switch with a compatable dimmer. I communicated directly with Lightkiwi for a list of compatible wall dimmers. (don't have the list anymore or I would share it) Found the proper dimmer at Home Depot.

Bob, It is hard wired. The best bet would be to get a 6 ft 12/3 extension cord.RockyKamrock Lights LLC

I just went and checked and it is not dimmable (or at least mine's not!). LOVE this lamp, tho, aesthetically.
