can it run on a regular dimmer switch? for do you need special equipment to dim?

You can only dim the unit thru a dmx controller. Using a dimmer switch that reduces the amount of power thru the power supply will cause the light to shut off.

You cannot use a standard dimmer switch for LED lighting and will need a basic lighting controller such as a Chauvet Obey 3 if you want to be able to dim them.

No, only on a standard light switch. Old school type. Does work great. You could change out the flat switch.

We don't use a dimmer with ours, but the technical details area of the product description says, "special features: dimmable."

I would think an electrician could hard wire this fixture to a dimmer switch. I would like to point out, this is not a high quality piece.

No special switch. Just wire it in parallel to your existing switch. Then when you turn the lights on, they come on and stay on, like always. But when you turn the switch off, the lights come on when something moves in the area.

We have a two way switch, one for fan and one for light which is on a dimmer. You don't need anything special.

It did not work on a dimmer swItch. The installer trIed but it did not work. Not sure what kind of dimmer he used. The light is gorgeous!

No, it works like any standard switch. When not physically pressing up/down on the switch it drops to a neutral position in the middle. A little LED light will turn on indicating the light switch is in the off position. The on/off and LED will react to the app and/or remote. Press and hold up/down to dim.

Yes. Cut the holes, (make sure you have clearance above them) run power, install the switch/dimmer and your in business.

Yes it can be connected to a dimmer. However make sure you get bulbs that are compatible for dimming. Some of the low energy bulbs will not work. Check the bulb packaging.

Yes but you have to buy a dimming switch and install it. Most dimmers can be purchased at lowes or Home Depot.

it's just a standard hard-wired light fixture like you would put in yout kitchen or dining room, so as long as you use standard old ligthbulbs or non-fluorescent new type ones that actualy say "dimmable" on the package then i would think so, yes...but these are made for outisde lighting, so usually dimming is not necessary....basically it's the bulb you use not the fixture that determines the dimmability.

I had not tried with a standard dimmer on the line side. I had a solid state one on the low-voltage side that worked fine until it was determined that I really just wanted to install a simple toggle. :)

That would be a question for Lutron. Depends I guess on the amount of electricity running through it and I have no idea what the limits of this dimmer switch are.

Hi There,I wish I could answer you but my application does not make use of a dimmer just a standard on/off switch. Based on my experience with LED technology I would only trust the manufacturer in the case GE to answer the question. When I ordered the bulb I spoke to GE tech support and they were very helpful and responsive. I hope this help you.Fred Thomas

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