How do you dim the lights? I bought the dimmable 40 watt bulbs that one reviewer sugested, but I don't understand how to dim the lights. the foot switch just turns the light on and off.

There's no dimmer switch. Just an on and off switch. Unfortunately there's no way to din the light unless you add your own dimmer.

I bought the 100 watt CFT lightbulbs. What dimmer works with it? Did I need to purchase "dimmable" bulbs?

Contact manufacturer. Did you get plug in automatic dimmer? You just touch pole and it will dim to where you like it with all bulbs on. Home Depot has them. Its great!

It has the requirements right on the fixture. Use A type bulb (this is just a "normal" sized light bulb and you can't exceed 60 watts. I used 40 watt bulbs and they are very bright. You don't buy dimmable bulbs - the dimmer is controlled by the switch you install in the wall - any bulb will dim if you have a dinner switch installed.

Mine is not dimmable. Foot switch just an on/off button. But I do love the lamp.

Why would you want it to dim to off? With a properly set dimmer made for LED bulbs, the bulb should still be on at the lowest setting and only turn off when the switch is turned off. Try using a dimmer like the Maestro dimmer (LED compatible version) from Lutron that allows you to custom set your dimmer's range based upon the bulbs you have in use. Secondly, you shouldn't use different types of bulbs on the same switch circuit as they may dim at different levels.

You will have to install your own dimmer switch. The sets use standard bulbs, so they are dim able.

Well, I am using 4 UltraLED 14W bulbs in one single fixture, and I am using the existing dimmer that I was using before whe I had 4 regular incandescent 60W bulbs. Seems to work fine, except that I can only dim the lights about 40%, after which the bulbs begin to flicker and the go off. Wish I could dim them more. Maybe I should be using a more compatible dimmer.

I have used both dimmable LED bulbs and regular 60 watt clear. The lamp makes the bulbs 1/2 as bright normally. When motion triggered, the lights go to full light. It does have a photo sensor and turns on at dusk and off at dawn.

The switch is only On/Off, and is a stepper switch, meaning it's intended to be placed on the floor to be toggled by pressing with your foot. Again, the lamp does NOT come with a dimmer function. Otherwise it is an excellent lamp. I've had no trouble with mine since it arrived and it still looks great. I hope this helps.

No dimmer switch on mine. I just put lower watt bulbs in because I like the look of it. If your camper has a dimmer switch hooked up on the outlet you plug in to that would work. Not sure otherwise how to make them dim.

I don't know because it was never my intention to dim them. However all incandescent bulbs will work on a dimmer switch but at 7 watts I don't know how much control you would have. BTW this is a very nice product.

Dimming is done via the light switch and bulbs so be sure that whatever bulbs you choose to use can be dimmed. Not all CFL bulbs can be dimmed.

There's a button that cycles the lights through various modes of dimming, flashing, or always on. Perhaps you hit the button and put them into a dimming/brightening cycle.

You are not supposed to dim any CFLs that I know of. That's one advantage of LEDS. However, I have dimmed CFLs in the past, maybe I was just lucky but nothing happened other than they got dim. I try to avoid it though.

They do dim. The controller that comes with the lights only dims in discrete levels. I don't know if you could use one of the analog dimmers to additionally control the brightness, but the remote is good enough for us. The warm white question is a good one--it's something I was hoping for as well. You can use the remote to set 'DIY' levels, and adjust the RGB levels independently. Taking out some blue and a little green I've gotten to a pretty good warm white. It's not quite as pleasing as the 2700 K Hitlight strips that I have, but you're not stuck with only pure white or the other colors shown on the remote.

I am using regular incandescent 40 watt bulbs. FYI, I have this light fixture plugged into an adaptor (might be the wrong term) that allows me to control the light remotely and also dim them, they are above my kitchen counter, connected to a large beam. Excellent quality.

In an earlier reply I stated that this switch does not dim LED bulbs. As it turns out I just didn't hold the button down long enough. It's not the best dimmer around, but it is reasonably acceptable.
