If you have an outlet on a dimmer switch will the lights dim appropriately when power is lowered?

We thought so, but turned out it didn't work off the 'dimmer switch' after all. Bummer. I should have spoken with the folks at Inspiredled (http://inspiredled.com) before ordering the lights, but now that they installed under our kitchen cabinets, I like the 'look'. We did buy their 'dimmer' switch for another strip of flexible lights and it works really nice. I must say, these lights are the best lights out there and they are so easy to install. If you have any questions, go to their website and watch their videos. They also have an email address as well as a toll free number to call and speak with someone. They are super nice folk.

These will not operator on a dimmer. The have 2 or 3 settings controlled by a switch on the cord. I think you will find these setting will meet your needs. The use of an external dimmer will burn them out almost immediately.

The led lights are 12 volt and run off their own converter. You can purchase a dimmer switch just for the led lights but, they will not dim together with your existing system unless the power socket is also controlled by your existing dimmer switch.

Dimmers affect only the bulbs and not fixtures. If your switch is a dimmer it will be for incandescent or flourescent lamps. You can install dimmable or non-dimmable LED lamps.

The bulbs do not stay on when the dimmer is off, however, I had some that did. My issue was that the ground line (on the switch) was cut with the switch and the live wire was still connected to socket(s) and current was leaking to the ground. Suggest you switch the power input line and ground line on the switch. If it is a three way switch do one switch at a time.

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...

Yes, by holding the on or off button (top or bottom of the switch), you will brighten or dim the lights.

Yes, best to use a DC/DC dimmer after the power supply. Such as https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IYXGEEQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

I just tested this on a 750W bulb. The following behavior was observed: With the dimmer plugged into the wall, plugging in the lamp caused a red light on the dimmer to illuminate. No light was observed from the lamp. Upon moving the slider up a few millimeters I could hear a voltage applied to the lamp, no light though (no enough power). As I moved it up the lamp illuminated. So in short, I think in its lowest most setting you should not have any current. So no power. Update: I just tested this on a 75 W bulb, same behavior.

I do not believe it will. When the power is removed from the circuit the lights will not come on when the power is restored until the on/off button is pushed, and then they come on at full brightness.

No. The connections only allow the dimmers to control the switch below each one.

I would just remove the dimmer and plug directly into a switch-controlled outlet. You could use a dimmer switch to control the outlet, which would accomplish your objective.

I have not had any issues with the dimmer switches. The lights work as they should on any setting. They will turn on at the lowest setting. So far I have purchase around 20 of these bulbs to replace the old style lights.

Yes. As long as it is a regular incandescent three way bulb (not CFL or LED) the dimmer will "see" it as an ordinary bulb. For example if you have a 50-100-150 three way on the highest setting it will behave exactly the same as a regular 150 watt bulb.

Yes. A dimmer adjusts the voltage going to the bulb, so not dimmer, full power.

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

Yes. I own the TV and had been playing with the feature. When I turn the lights off, the tv dims.

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.

I believe it depends on the LED lights themselves. I used this dimmer with incandescent lights but some under counter LED lights I'm looking at show this same dimmer as a dimmer option for them.
