How can I determine if my dimmer switch is LED compatible?

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

It says on each light if it is dim-able on the light and it says that the Great Eagle LED BR30 is in fact dim-able but i have found that like most LEDs it does not dim as well with the conventional dimmer as incandescent. I have found that even dim-able LED work much better with new LED Dimmer switches

Lutron dimmers work. They have several dimmers so be sure you select one that supports LED. good luck!

Just checked today on Intermatic website ST01 specification resource and it lists CFL/LED compatible.

Hi! Yes, I am using mine with the GE 45602 Lamp Module Dimmer and it works perfectly. You just keep pushing the light button you want to control and that is it.

I purchased for the same reason, but I was under the assumption that both switches were dimmer switches -- they're not! One is a dimmer switch and one is a 3-stage switch meant for a ceiling fan. I ended up not installing it, as I needed side-by-side dimmer switches that would work with low-voltage LED bulbs.

Sorry my previous answer was incorrect as I remember a new product that just might work, but your dimmer function might not be usuable. This LED unit is comparable to a 25watt light: https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/114212/LED-G92020E.html

I've used both Insteon smart-switch dimmers as well as Lutron dimmers. They were not specifically speced for LED lighting, but they have been working fine for me.

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.

My house uses Levitron dimmers but it would be compatible with any common house hold dimmer.

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.

on/off switches should always be 100% output, in my experience they work fine with LEDs. If you want the dimmer option, look for a LED compatible dimmer, although just know that LEDs dont to dim as well as a incandescent light. Mine will turn off out at about 30-50% output.

there are special dimmer for LED it should say on the box if they are compatible. the difference is LED's cannot go as low as a regular bulbs, so led dimmer have an adjustment for that.

not an expert, but if you put in a bulb that works with a dimmer switch it would work fine. Some new LED's won't work with dimmer switch..it shows yes or no on the LEDpackage where I shop.

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

Hi SH, I just installed the fan this weekend. I ended up replacing my original dimmer switch with a Lutron Fan/Light dimmer combined switch. It is a little pricey but works wonderful and gives much more control over the fan and lighting then the remote. I highly recommend it. Although the switch does not mention compatibility with LEDs, it does in fact work flawlessly with the LED in the fan. Lutron MA-LFQHW-WH Maestro Fan Control and Dimmer Kit, White

I'm not sure it will work with a dimmer switch check with an electrical store selling lamps.

I am using the bulbs, but not in a dimming application. I do know (from previous experience), that you should use a dimmer that says it will work with LEDs.
