Cree light as dimmer

Unfortunately, no. You should never use a smart bulb with a dimmer switch of any kind, smart or not, as the bulb and the switch will confuse each other and you can burn out one or the other. And if you combine the smart bulb with a plain smart on/off switch, the inrush current to the bulb each time you turn on the switch can damage the bulb over time.

Smart bulbs are intended to always have maximum current coming to them and then the bulb will decide for itself how much power to use. So just use regular dumb bulbs with your GE switches.

If For whatever reason you need some of the features of a smart bulb, such as color changing or color temperature changing, then you need a switch which doesn’t change the current to the bulb. See the FAQ (this is a clickable link)
