Default Can I use T5 led conversion bulbs on a dimmer?
I have some T5 HO ballasts and I am going to use T5 LED conversion bulbs in them. They're daisy-chained together and share a single power cord with an on/off switch.

Is it possible to add a dimmer to the setup? Is there any reason that doing so would be inadvisable? Thanks.

I seriously doubt that'll work.

A dimmer may be usable on the driver for the LED lamp, but I don't believe dimmers work on fluorescent ballasts, and they are the power source for plug-and-play LED lamps.

If you bypass the ballasts AND the lamps you purchase are dimmable...sure!
