Does this bulb work with a light that is controlled with a dimmer switch?

I have this bulb one of my dimmer switches. Yes, the on off switch (on the wall) will work but the dimmer slide/turn knob won't. The app has a function for dimming and turning the unit on and off.

Not 100% on the LED light, as i have a normal bulb in mine, however, in my last house i believe i had the same switch and it did work. I believe it depends on teh bulb and not the controller, some LED cannot be dimmed.The switch itself, if you just press the button quickly, the light turns on and off instantly. If you press and hold the button, then the light dims.

The Cree 18-watt bulb does work with a dimmer. I am using it with this one: Lutron TTCL-100H-WH Credenza Dimmable CFL/LED Dimmer, White

yes it will work as a dimmer, and yes you also have to have a bulb that CAN be dimmed, such as an incandescent bulb, or a flourescent bulb that is rated for dimming. Most flourescent bulbs are not rated for dimming.

Hi, this depends on what type of switch it is. I think this product is a 2 way switch. If it is, no it won't work. If you are installing this in a 3 way setup where there is another 3 way switch, then the dimmer has to be a 3 way dimmer switch. Another thing to keep in mind is that the light you want to dim has to be able to be dimmable. Example, if it is a flourescent light it must be a dimmable type. Usually incandescent or halogen bulbs are used where dimmers are used. Hope this helps

It will work and dim with any bulb but will not dim with CFL bulbs. They sell their own LED bulb that does not need a switch or module to control it.

This switch works with a fluorescent overhead light fixture that uses a balast (i.e. four ft fluorescent ceiling fixture in a garage or laundry room)I expect it will not work for CFL bulb that is not designed for use with dimmers.

This switch most certainly DOES work for incandescent bulbs. I know this, because it is currently (get it?) working in my incandescent lamp. If your original dimmer was 500W 120V 60H this will work. I'm not an electrical engineer, but I can't think of a single way the switch would know what type of bulb it is outputting power to, which is why I used it, and I couldn't be happier.

Yes, I do not know of any reason why a dimmer switch would not operate a LED bulb that can be screwed into a socket.

Yes. The switch is relay-driven, so it will work with any kind of light bulb or lamp. It makes an audible click when it operates. In fact, you can use it with any appliance that can handle being on a light switch. Just don't exceed the switch's power rating (stated on the product page).

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

Should be able to use with current switch. I didn't use any "special" dimmer switch, and they have worked just fine. NOTE: I have had a larger percentage of these bulbs burn out too fast, maybe 10%.

I'm no electrician but every bulb ise dimmable with a dimmer switch. I used a LED light with the one I bought and mine is on a day light / night switch but I'm sure it's dimmable and it works great!

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

This works with any bulb that is dimmable. It does not have to be an Insteon bulb.

I'm not an electrician but with a dimmable bulb and a dimmable light switch yes it would work fine. The fixture has nothing to do with it being dimmable or not. Hope that Helps. But it is a GREAT fixture. I have several of them outside.

I haven't tried that kind of bulb. The light shines at one level and then gets brighter when there's motion within the distance you determine. I'm not sure that the dimmable feature would work. I've had this light fixture more than two years and have only changed the bulb once. I use a clear 40 watt bulb and have been very pleased. The fixture has held up well and is quite attractive. I recommend it. Hope this helps.
