Can this be used with a "standard" dimmer switch with the 50w halogen bulbs?

I don't have this particular light fixture on a dimmer but I have two other fixtures, with the same type of bulbs, on standard dimmers and they work fine.

I wish I could answer that question for you! I do not know. But I will tell you I love this light. I looked for over two years for just the right light and I am glad I found this one!

I put mine on a standard dimmer and it works fine. I've had it installed for a couple of years now, and have had no problems. Haven't even changed a bulb yet.

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.

To my knowledge, I don't think so. There are cfl bulbs that are specifically designed for dimmer operation.

Yes it will work with any dimmer switch. But for the same price as most dimmer switches you can get the Levittown 6674-pow universal led and cfl and incandescent from Amazon. It is a truly superior dimmer switch. For many reasons including that you can set a minimum light level so you know whether you lights are on or off. It has both a slide control and a on/off switch.

I think you can, i use it in a Lumatek Dimmable Ballast and it works fine, but i won't recommend to use it in less than 100%, it would consume the same power and will short the lifespan of the bulb.

I've used it on incandecent and LED bulbs and it works fine. I don't see why it wouldn't work with a halogen bulb.

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'm not sure but I don't see why not. We used ours with the existing switch so assuming is is a dimmer with appropriate bulb I would imagine it would work.

Yes. I installed one with mine and it works great. Make sure dimmer switch is compatible with LED lamps.

YES. because halogen bulbs are essentially a type of incandescent bulb. I have these same switches controlling regular old bulbs, and many halogen bulbs.

Yes, a standard dimmer can be used with this fixture. We have 2 of these fixtures and both are on dimmers.

Not according to my electrician, at least not with the LED fixtures that I purchased to use with these switches. I had to use 'conventional' dimmer switches, which worked fine.

I don't see why it wouldn't. We plan to trade out the regular switch for a dimmer switch soon.

Yes, these work just fine with regular switches. I have 30 of these lights and 13 of them are on regular switches while the rest are on dimmers.

Hey Big Hank. To be honest I don't know the answer to that question. I'd "assume" you cant as I haven't had experience with many smart bulbs that work with dimmers. Well not unless you spend a good amount of money on them. These are fairly in-expensive in the grand scheme of bulbs. If you give it a whirl please let me know.

Your dimmer switch doesn't have to be compatible, the light bulb does. It will say LED dimmable in description

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.
