I have been using Leviton dimmers with the Halogen pucks I want to replace, will they work?

They likely will not, unfortunately. We have found the only reliable dimmer to be a Lutron Diva - DVCL-153P, available here on Amazon. -- Barry - Brodwax on Amazon

Compatibility with dimmer is dependent upon the dimmer switch itself. You'll need to look at the specifications on the models you're interested in to make that determination.

I contacted Philips and they updated their website with an updated dimmer compatibility. The new chart (page 7) lists all of the compatible brands and rates them as well. http://www.usa.lighting.philips.com/connect/tools_literature/compatibility.wpd

No. You must use a decent dimmer that's led capable. The old dimmers are hard on the electronics in the led

Not an expert, but I'd say yes and no. They're changing the led light bulbs to work with dimmers, not the other way around. But I do use these dimmers with dimmable Leds, and have had no issues.

I have these on dimmers in two rooms and I just used the same dimmers that where in the wall switch for the incandescent bulbs. I know that works. Specialized Halogen bulbs may have a different voltage and current range and I'm not certain whether your dimmers are specialized for a particular system. But, if it's the type of dimmer that would work just as well with a standard bulb, it should work with these.

Yes. But if using something other than incandescents, check the compatibility list at leviton for the model of your light. Works awesome around my house.

As long as they are the same socket they should fit. These lights are bright and your dimmer won't do much for them. I not only replaced all my gauge lights but I also used them for my courtesy lights.

Hi, yes it will work with halogen bulbs, dimmers get more life out of your bulb, they will last a bit longer ...

I use this dimmer with halogen bulbs (Osram 41870WFL) and it works perfectly.

There are specific switches for different fixtures. I ended up contacting leviton customer care to find the right one

no they should not... maybe when it's at low... make sure all the bulbs are the same on the circuit or dimmer.

The two may not be compatible. LED dimmers must be matched to the LED light, or vice versa. Look for a phone number on the LED light or the dimmer package and give them a call. They gave me a web page to look at that had compatible dimmers.

Should work, as long as the wattage for all pucks are within limits. (I am assuming you are asking about a dimmer on the 120V input)

Yes - these bulbs are inherently less bright than traditional bulbs (due to design) -- as you would expect, old light bulbs from many years ago don't produce as much light as current bulbs... having said that, there are no special requirements with regard to dimming - any incandescent dimmer will work with these bulbs as long as it is rated for the wattage (which virtually all dimmers are... only an issue if you put a bunch on one circuit) -- I love em... and I use a dimmerAll the best - George

I have used mine with normal incandescent bulbs and LEDs without a problem. I have not used this dimmer with a Halogen bulb but do not see that the Halogen should be any different than a normal incandescent bulb as far as the dimmer is concerned.

Most dimmers that work with halogen will work with LED. The old dimmers for incandescent do not work with LED
