What bulbs can you use with this dimmer switch?

There are no limitations to bulbs that can be used so long as they are rated 110v. However, if the bulb is not dimmable (like fluorescents) then the switch won't dim the bulb. It will just turn it on and off. You would need to use a dimmable bulb for the switch to be able to work as designed.

You can use standard incandescent bulbs. I use this with recessed lighting in my dining room. You CAN use the DIMMABLE CFL bulbs with these, (have tried it) though I don't really like them. I haven't tried the dimmable LED bulbs yet, but that's next on my list. I don't see why you couldn't though. The key word here is to make sure they're dimmable. Just make sure you don't exceed the rated wattage.

These are designed for Incandescent bulbs only. They make other dimmers for dimmable CFL bulbs & other dimmers for Led bulbs. There are many brands of dimmers. You really need to check out the MFG's recommendations when buying dimmers.

You do not want to use the dimmer type. The switch that does not have the dimmer should work fine.

If you have an older dimmer switch, do not use these bulbs. CFLs require a newer 3-way dimmer switch. I had to pay an electrician $60 to learn this :)

Only use CFL (curly Q bulbs) that are designated as "dimmable". LED and standard incandescent bulbs should work fine.

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.

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.

I'm using a Leviton 6674-P0W SureSlide Universal 150-Watt LED and CFL/600-Watt Incandescent Dimmer. It works great with this bulb.

It would be helpful to you to call Lutron and ask them about your specific situation. They are very helpful and will tell you which dimmer will work best.

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.

Yes,you may use these bulbs with a dimmer. They are just halogen incandescent bulbs. I use them in a dimmable 60W fixture and they give much more light that a regular bulb.

Yes - these bulbs are inherently less bright than traditional bulbs (due to design) -- as you would expect, old light bulbs from many years ago don't produce as much light as current bulbs... having said that, there are no special requirements with regard to dimming - any incandescent dimmer will work with these bulbs as long as it is rated for the wattage (which virtually all dimmers are... only an issue if you put a bunch on one circuit) -- I love em... and I use a dimmer All the best - George

We don't have them on a dimmer switch so we don't know. You should ask the manufacturer that question.

You can use candelabra bulbs or the globe ones. Check this one, it's what I use and it's awesome. Love the light and the quality Triangle Bulbs T90020 (Pack of 2) G16 Decorative Globe Light Bulbs 300 Lumen 5-watt LED Light Bulb with E26 Base, Color 3000K, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

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.

I used regular bulbs......led dimmers were too expensive; therefore, I haven't tried.
