I installed four in my Hunter fan and noticed no dimming when the fan is on verses off. (I have two wall switches which control the fan and lights separately.)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Mine is in a hunter Ceiling Fan. Just make sure to leave the power on and the Dim up all the way and adjust the brightness from the app.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Mine are currently in a Hunter ceiling fan, and work perfectly when dimmed, or not not. also can change the brightness and hue within the app. I have had the same issue as you prior, but have not had any issue with these at all. They have been installed for over a month, and yet to have a single issue.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't have these in a ceiling fan, but I have had a similar issue with dimmable LED bulbs in my Kitchen light. Not sure if the cause is the bulb, the switch or just dirty power. But since these don't use a dimmer switch (that functionality is built into the bulb) you shouldn't have that issue with these. I've not noticed any flicker in my use of the Hue bulbs. Just make sure that you are not using these in conjunction with a dimmer switch. They are designed to have full power to them at all times. The app/bulb will take care of the rest. One more thing, since your ceiling fan uses 3 bulbs, you need to get the 4 bulb starter kit. Then you will have one spare to use in another fixture. My guess is that once you try them out and see the benefits, you'll want them everywhere.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have tried these in the lighting fixture in my master bathroom, which had a dimmer switch for the standard bulbs that existed previously. Because your household electrical A/C current is 120v that is cycling back and forth, most LED bulbs are taking that and converting it into a much lower voltage DC current to power the LED lights that require less voltage and load. When you slide a dimmer switch down, the method used to lower the brightness of an incandescent lamp is simply reducing the supply of 60Hz of the A/C in the house wiring. The more that the dimmer switch reduces the available "ON" time duty cycle of the power going to the lights, the less available amount of electrons there are to travel through the tungsten wire inside an incandescent bulb. When this same effect happens to most LED bulbs, you are basically interrupting the availability of electrons to power the transformer that is powering the LED components inside of them. Imagine installing a dimmer switch to the outlet of a desktop PC. It would certainly not "run slower" or reduce the brightness of the display monitor. Same effect happens to most LED bulbs. For LED bulbs, you have to shop for one that specifically states "DIMMABLE" on the package. If it doesn't say that it works with a dimmer switch, then it probably won't. They do exist, however the Phillips Hue bulbs do not. In order to dim ANY Phillips Hue bulbs, including these E12 bulbs, you can use the "Philips - Hue Wireless Dimmer Switch with Remote - Model: 458141 SKU: 4373904" in order to adjust their brightness, and control the ON/OFF operation. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/philips-hue-wireless-dimmer-switch-with-remote-white/4373904.p?skuId=4373904
