will this dim an LED all the way to almost nothing??? I have a dimmer now and the LED lights are too bright. It was not a dimmer certified for LEDs

It should go down to just the point were the LEDs start to flicker, which is very low light. There is an adjustment you can make before you put the switch cover plate back on.

They will dime quite well. Lutron is a very good product. Lighting and lighting controls is what they specify in. They will dim down to 10 percent and sometimes less depending on the brand of LED bulb. I posted a link a few questions back on ALl the types of bulbs lutron dimmers are compatible with.

make sure you turn down the dimmer level located on the front of the metal box - I didn't notice this at first but there is a dial that can be shifted from "-" to "+" Once I turned it down, I discovered my LED lights dimmed down to almost nothing, which was my goal.

I'm using these with four different LED bulbs and all of them dim enough that I cannot conformably read a book fou five feet away on the lowest setting in a dark room. On the dimmest setting I can comfortably put my eye right up to the bulb.

I am sorry, but I do not know. I installed LED lights and they dim those. However on a low setting, I do experience some flickering. You can call the help line at Lutron (it's on their web site) and they can answer the question. Good Luck.

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...

Probably not. In my experience, when you try to use a standard dimmer on "dimmable" LED lights, it does not work. The wattage is different. Usually if it is a group of lights they cannot all be LED; you have to put one or two incandescent lights in the circuit so the dimmer works.Hope this helps.

While it worked I found that replacing the dimmer with a new one for led dimmable lights gave a little more range of dimming. just remember that you will never get them to just "glow", as you can an incandescent.

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.

Check the specs on dimmer...I know for sure it will dim a magnetic transformer as I have it in my house for lv potlights

This control can dim my Cree 60 watt equivalent LED bulbs. However, it caused the bulbs to make a buzzing sound which drives me crazy. I took it off and currently looking for a solution.

!i Yes the dimmer will work, but you have to check the LED bulbs carefully. I have found dimmable bulbs like the CREE line of LEDs to work just fine. Other "dimmable LEDs" have not worked very well. Some Phillips and FEIT bulbs would blink rapidly or hum loudly.

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

yes...but the dimming feature will only work on LEDs that have that ability.

Honestly - I don't know. Thses are the only lights we do not have dimmers with. That question needs to go to the seller. Good luck

I don't know... what ever you do, you have to make sure you are feeding DC current to the strip of LED's. Since this dimmer is made for AC and not DC curernt, it may not work.

As long as you start it in regular mode high it won't dim. I'm only dim if started in dimming mode (straight up and down)

my light switch was not a dimmer no. but neither was another fixture I purchased, and we switched out light switch and converted it to one no problem. just didn't try with this.

Short answer: yes and no. I've found that LEDs which declare themselves dimmable do dim with old-fashioned rotary dimmers. But my attempt to combine LEDs and a fancy Lutron dimmer/motion-detector failed - the dimmer wouldn't bring the LEDs above half brightness. Be prepared to do some experiments and have some failures.

I bought it for LED bulbs in the hall. In one fixture I had 60W brightness, in the other 40W. It dimmed both, but the one fixture dimmed all the way to out while the other one was still on a bit, but it worked fine for me. The LED light color did not change to more yellow that I could see as it dimmed. There was no buzzing or any issues.
