Not really answered. Has anyone used it in on a wall dimmer??? Thanks.

We thought of trying a dimmer switch, but my husband wasn't sure the bulbs it uses would work for that. Would be real nice to be able to dim this beautiful light. Good Luck!

Yes, I have four of these on different stair landings, and all are on dimmers. They were installed about six months ago, and there hasn't been any problem.

I've installed this ballast once before and it has worked for about 3 yr. I just received another one, and I noticed that it specifically states that it not for use with dimmers. Go figure. I don't know what else to use, though. Unfortunately, the new one doesn't appear to work at all.

I cannot answer that specifically regarding your dimmer. Though I use a lutron dimmer with mine. It maybe the same dimmer.

First this comes in two sizes;make sure the R20 is the bulb you want. Next, I do not have this on a dimmer but if the recessed can you have is on a dimmer I see no reason why this wont work with a dimmer as it acts just an extension.

I have it on a normal on off switch so im not sure if it can be hooked to a dimmer.

Yes we used it for under cabinet lights and it worked perfect! We had a magnetic dimmer but either would work I am sure.

Yes,i think so. I have used them on a dimmer, but I do not know if I am doing any harm.

I do not have mine set on a dimmer and I did not install it so I am unable to answer the question

I wouldn't use this with a light. It's designed for a fan and only has three set levels. Plus this thing is way more expensive then a normal zwave light dimmer.

Two things about dimming. My dimmer was not compatible. Check the Philips list of ones that work perfectly. In spite of not being compatible they would dim way down. I dimmed the hall lights so our Video room would not have a glare from them. My guess would be over 80 dim. Not as good as old fashioned dimmers on a dinning room chandelier with incandescent lights but fairly close. Also be sure you have enough lights to meet the lowest wattage needed for the dimmer. Sounds complex but it isn't really. If you would like the PDF file with all the dimmers that work email me. I lost the site but have the list jhsnowden@ev1.net

This does not dim my FEIT BR40 LED bulbs. I just wrote to Feit asking for an explanation since there website list this dimmer as being compatible. -Update, I still have not heard back from FEIT. I tried to send them another email today. I also wrote to Lutron today as well. I'll update if/when I get a response.

Romulo, I do not use it in a situation where I would need to dim it. These types of lamps use so little energy any standard switch should do . Returning to the dimming question, I suggest calling an electrical contractor.

I would say yes and no. I'm currently using it for dimmable LEDs but on any level but high I tend to get instability. I haven't figured out if it's my LEDs or the dimmer. This is the second dimmer I've tried (the other was a different mfgr) and I had similar issues. Sorry I can't give a better answer.

I hooked one up to a dimmer switch and it did not work that well. It tends to flicker intensely instead of dimming.

Are they speaking about the little light that is inside the dimmer? If so, mine has lasted forever. I wouldn't know about that. If they are speaking about the bulb that is in the lamp it turns on and off, then that has not happened to me. If my lamp burns out I replace the bulb and it has no effect on the dimmer. I highly recommend these dimmers! Mine is a necessity!

Are you using this for LED tape light? The dimmer is rated for 12 volts. If you hook it up to a power source with a voltage greater than 12 volts the switch may work for awhile, but will eventually get fried.
