Does this need a low-voltage dimmer?

Hi KZB, Thanks for the question. It's not necessary to have a low-voltage dimmer, but you can if you'd like. We hope this helps. If you have any more questions, or would like to place an order, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, they're also literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

Yes, just install a dimmer in the switch box (electrician or experienced handy person). You will need to use regular light bulbs (non flourescent) for any light on a dimmer. I hope this helps.

I'm not sure. I have it operating from a wall switch with a dimmer. Maybe this helps.

Yes. Mine is on a dimmer and it works just fine. I love this light and strongly recommend it.

The only way to dim would be to use a low voltage inline dimmer, you can try a lutron dimmer switch but I don't believe it work because it is not a damnable driver

I haven't seen anything on the lamp itself that could be a dimmer. I think if it were plugged into an outlet with a dimmer switch that would work.

Hi Karin, yes I have it on a dimmer myself. It's very bright when on full power so dimmer is necessary.

Yes, however the dimmer must be made for Led's one of the old cheapy may not work. Also they will not fully dim before they go off so the brightness will only dim about halfway before they go out. The more of these you have on one circuit the more they will dim. Some dimmers switches will do better than others about how well they will dim also. But when you buy a dimmer it must say for LED lights on the box. The dimmers usaully will cost around 20 bucks. Hope that helps...

I don't have it on a dimmable circuit. I haven't noticed that it stays dim after I turn it off.

No-Your house current is 120 volts AC, I don't know just how low a dimmer lowers the voltage, but it is still AC current. The ribbon lights 12 volt DC current, you need the transformer to change voltage from AC to DC current. Then use a DC dimmer.

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

No, the ones I received only had a switch. These are not really bright lamps, so to me a dimmer wouldn't be necessary.

no it dose not require a can. you do not need a dimmer a regular single pole switch will work. you will be left with a open line voltage splice above the ceiling check local codes

You can dim on the line voltage side. You have to make sure the dimmer is ok with a magnetic transformer though. That is a must!!! These aren't cheap either. The cheapest dimmer I could find was about $40. Also get the lowest watt rated dimmer you can find. Higher ones sometimes flicker when dimmed low, if you only have one low power transformer on the circuit.

Yes, as long as the dimmer is rated for a low voltage or magnetic application, it dims when connected to the line voltage side. I just installed this transformer/dimmer for a client with led strip lights. It works nicely.

You won't need a dimmer switch because it can't be dimmer than it already is. I bought two of these and put them inside my shop, at night you can't tell they are on

No, it only switches on and off; no dimmer. Pretty handy if you have a power cord without a switch.
