Has anyone tried Lutron Maestro or Diva dimmers with these? How'd they do? They do not appear on Lutron's list of approved LEDs for those dimmers.

Yes. You need a maestro that is made for a LED. It will have a CL added to the end of the model number. C is for Compact Flourescents & L is for LED'S.

Work marginally with Lutron dimmer. Lamp only comes on with dimmer at 100%, then you can dim. When not at 100% light does not come on.

They work great, but when it's in the dimmest position and they are off you try to turn them on there's a lag and a flicker.

Lutron MACL-153M-WH Maestro still has a flicker even when these are on full power (I have 4 of the lamps).

I installed a Leviton 6674-P0W SureSlide Universal 150-Watt LED dimmer in the wall box.Very nice control of 6 LED ceiling lights w/o any buzzing and/or flickering - so far!!Only $18 from Amazon.

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

We did not hv them on a dimmer. The co. Makes some that are ... but these were not listed as such. They wk well though

Hard to answer. I had one brand that would dim fine. Another flickered and flashed even when not dimming. The only thing you can do is buy one switch and try it or look for a compatibility guide on the Internet.

I am using the previously installed dimmers meant to work with incandescent bulbs. The dimming range of LED bulbs is not as extensive as when using incandescent bulbs.

Jennifer, they didn't work at all for me. The lamps would not stay on. I bought them because the swiitches on our lamps kept stripping out. We would up just having the switches replaced. The dimmers went in the "i bought it but it doesn't work" graveyard.

I am having no problems with my led bulbs. I have been told that some of the less expensive dimmers don't work with led bulbs.

Work just fine. However I have found only to check the dim was the only time I have dimmed. Look great and easy on the eyes. Hope this helps.

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

Michael M.I don't know what you are doing but I have several of these and never have an issue. Granted they are not the best quality but no reason for dimmer not to work with them.Do make sure the LED bulbs are dimmable, if they are not you will get a strobe light effect.

Lots of cool new style dimmers out there. This is my new favorite. LEVITON # IPI06-1LZ It has a cool led light on it to find it in the dark and comes with 3 different colors for the face. It works with all types of light bulbs. Al

The lights buzz when they are at a medium level of light. I don't think this is uncommon with LEDs. The buzzing is virtually gone when it is on full power, and very faint when using at the lowest setting (we use it for a night light). I am using the lutron DIVA dimmer the package says it works with.

My lighting designer told me that it would not work with low voltage transformers. They suggested the Lutron Diva for that purpose, which is what I am using. I used these everywhere else in my house, though, and they work well. They're a little strange to wire, especially in 3-way and 4-way applications, so you need to have the wiring instructions handy when you're installing them. We also did use these with LED bulbs, and the dimming works funky with dimmable Cree LEDs. One light fixture had two Cree dimmable LED bulbs in it, and the light would not come on when set to a dimming position, when when "turned up" it would flash one of the bulbs on, and then finally the other one. We did not experience this problem with TCP LED halogen replacements, only with Cree standard dimmable LEDs.

Lutron dimmers work. They have several dimmers so be sure you select one that supports LED. good luck!

I have 11 on each circuit on a built-in entertainment center; they are on the Lutron Maestro with Pico wireless remote dimmers. Work great. With any LED you can only dim so far before they start to flicker, but they drop to a nice low light and color is still good.

Lutron does have Diva dimmers with dimmer lights, but this model (for CFL/LED lights) does not. You can find specs on the different diva's on Lutron's site: http://www.lutron.com/en-US/Products/Pages/StandAloneControls/Dimmers-Switches/DivaDimmerSwitch/ModelNumbers.aspx#SectionHead25
