Can you use a led bulb? Is the light dimmable? What is the maximum wattage the bulb can be?

The fan comes with a CFL GU24 pin base 26W squat low profile bulb which is not dimmable and the GU24 socket is made for that particular bulb. It should last 10,000 hours. This bulb has a low profile but could be replaced with a dimmable led with the GU24 pin base -- as long as it was the bulb wasn't too big.

Hello, sir, sorry, this is a dimmable bulb, if you install it without our special driver, it cannot be dimmed normally.

I think you can use with dimmable led bulbs just with Lutron C.L dimmers. Take a look: http://www.lutron.com/Education-Training/LCE/Pages/DimmingCFLsandLEDs.aspx

Yes, Just don't exceed 150 watts per bulb. I'm using 2 different types of LED bulbs in mine and everything works really well.

LED bulbs run on DC and come equipped with an AC converter. I don't think the converter would stand up too well on a dimmer, but if you can find LED bulbs that specifically say "dimmable", then go for it. The par 20's (LED) that I use in my kitchen specifically say "dimmable".

Short answer: Yes.Long answer: LED bulbs can be used whereever incandescents can be used, including with dimming. It's CFLs you have to worry about. (CFLs do work in this fixture, by the way)

No, it cannot. I purchased this bulb because it didn't specifically say it wasn't dimmable - but they are not. Here's the one I bought instead - it works beautifully; and has a great, soft warm light - as good or better than the halogen it replaced.

Only use CFL (curly Q bulbs) that are designated as "dimmable". LED and standard incandescent bulbs should work fine.

That is the great thing about LED bulbs, they us much less electricity and do not generate any heat! The answer is yes you can.

yes you can use LED bulbs, just make sure they are G9 socket and capable of dimming... some LED bulbs have thicker bases than regular halogens so make sure you choose a style that has a slim base design...

This bulb should be dimmable if you use the correct dimmer such as a Lutron Maestro CL series, which is specifically designed to work with LED and Fluorescent bulbs. Also, You should never dim Led bulbs below 20% brightness.

You can use standard incandescent bulbs. I use this with recessed lighting in my dining room. You CAN use the DIMMABLE CFL bulbs with these, (have tried it) though I don't really like them. I haven't tried the dimmable LED bulbs yet, but that's next on my list. I don't see why you couldn't though. The key word here is to make sure they're dimmable. Just make sure you don't exceed the rated wattage.

I use a 60W equivalent LED bulb and it's been working great. It doesn't heat up or anything so I'd really recommend it. Plus, the bulb's brightness is sufficient but very relaxing for the eyes, at the same time.

Yes I currently use a LED bulb on my set up. It works perfectly. I also used a CFL for a while but switched to LED for efficiency.

You can use LED BULBS however I'm not sure that there are 75w or 100w LED's on the market. You can definitely use the 60w LED's that are readily available but they might not provide enough light.
