My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hi! Can I use dimmable LEDS in this fixture?

    Hello,

    As long as they are medium base bulbs not exceeding 60 watts incandescent, that would be fine.

    Thanks,
    Katie M.

    I cannot use LED? Only incandescent?
  • 9 years ago

    I"m sorry, you cannot exceed the equivalent of 60 incandescent watts.

    I believe LED lights are less wattage. is there a way to find out if this fixture will fit LED bulbs? Is there a website I can go to? thanks so much for your help.

    I would recommend Googling a comparison chart; we don't have one in particular we recommend. It is also possible that the bulb you purchase will have a comparison on the packaging. LED wattage is lower, yes. For example, 8-12 LED watts is equivalent to about 60 incandescent watts.

    I hope this helps!
