Can GU24 Socket Lamps Be Used With Dimmer Switches
[ad#block]Question: Can I use a standard incandescent dimmer on a fixtures that utilizes GU24 sockets? Or would this fall under a CFL type dimmer system?

Thanks for your electrical question Cinda.
Cinda, the CU24 Lamps fall under the same category as a CFL lamp which commonly is not compatible with a standard incandescent dimmer switch. If the dimmer switch and the GU24 lamps state that they are compatible then your safe, however at this time the two are not compatible.
