Can these be hardwired into a wall switch? I can live without dimming them, but want to use the wall switch.

Short answer yes, but make sure you have some kind of gfci, or fuse on the 110 sides' loop

That's what I did...I had to bypass the dimmer switch (cut it out and splice the wires), but it works perfectly in that manner and I have the wires hidden.

Actually, there is an overload transformer. I hardwired mine by burying a plug inside the wall, but you should use the dimmer for 7$. It has 4 brightness settings and can be under mounted. Avoid direct wiring the lights, unless you've found a dimmer with a built in transformer. I already tried ;(

I suppose they would be dimmable. I have two settings on my range hood where I used these, low and high and that would be the same as a dimmer switch..

While I have not used these with a dimmer switch, I see no reason why not. In effect the converter is just a conductor between the two different types of connectors.

So it can be hard wired to an existing light switch? I'm thinking of getting three of these for my kitchen ceiling.

Dimmer potential is NOT in the light fixture but in the wall switch. Notice what Robert E wrote: "mine is on a dimmer switch."

I do not have mine hooked up to a dimmer, but I don' see why you couldn't. With a dimmer, the bulbs are more important than the lighting hardware.

The standard wiring that comes with the unit is not designed to be hard wired, but if you have electrical know how, you can make the alterations successfully. I am not sure how that would impact any electrical code compliance. As for dimming, the instructions warn the user NOT to use it with a dimming circuit.

I am not using them in a dimming application, however, from the product description at Amazon:"Low Voltage: 12V AC/DC compatible; DIMMABLE when working with electronic dimmers"Electronic dimmers? I can't help you with that either.

They can be used with either a regular dimmer or with a standard light switch. In other words, you can use them just like a regular light bulb. I'm using mine on a regular on/off switch.

I use these in my under cabinet lighting over my kitchen counter top. The lighting has three brightness settings. I dont know how they would be on a dimmer switch but i assume they would work.

Yes... they can be hardwired. I just had 14 installed that way... there is a small power converter that hides up under the cabinet, but work great.

Hi, you could dim them if you hard wired them to a dimmer switch. You could also wire a dimmer switch on the line side of a receptacle and dim the lights through the receptacle that you plug your lights into. They are incandescent light bulbs so a dimmer will not damage them and they will work fine.

Any fixture, including this one, can be connected to a dimmer switch. The dimmer is connected to the light switch in the wall, not to the fixture itself.

Yes these can be hardwired. They come with pigtailed ends that can be used. Use a LED magnetic transformer to match wattage and 16/2 LV cable. The tape is cuttable every 3" and LV cable can be soldered to the ends if needed.

Since this product is merely a fixture and not a bulb of any sort, it would depend on what you put into it and if you have a dimmer installed on the wall. If you're wondering if there is a dimmer switch on it, there is not.
