"incandescent and halogen light bulbs ONLY"

[drcampbell]

Why does this even exist? Who still uses incandescent and halogen light bulbs? (other than my dad ... )

 

[rambojoe]

Me. And the oven and fridge
A rotory dimmer for the oven light? Sure.

Somebody who needs to replace an existing switch.

That’s because that dimmer doesn’t work with LED, and they have to give the disclaimer so they don’t have to buy it back! LOL! Must be some real old stock they had left over.

I had about a half dozen of those that I threw away last year

There is still other "standard dimmers" still available as well. Not that they don't work with LED's, but don't always work as well as ones intended for dimming LED's.

Your LED's that are dimmable via an in line dimmer in the supply line are somewhat crude dimming method and still yields undesirable effects at times in comparison to a dimmer driver that utilizes a separate 0-10V dimming input.

I have two Casablanca fans that were installed when my home was built. They’re very nice, high-quality fans and I don’t want to replace them. They have halogen bulbs - the long, skinny ones similar to the ones used in portable utility lights. I’ve not found an LED replacement for these bulbs, so if I wanted a combination fan control/dimmer, I could use that device.

Like Hal said above re: existing equipment.

The inline dimmers for CFL's/LED's still work on incandescent/halogen. They just not normally rated for as much wattage as their older counterparts.

R7's?

R7's?

R7S might be it. Not sure if that’s what you meant? I think R7 is the standard worklight, the R7S is shorter and might be what I need, thanks.

they seem to be available but bigger diameter might prevent fitting in your light
