Can this bulb be dimmed?

Not sure if it can be dimmed. I bought a pack of 10 Watt and a pack of 20 Watt for different uses in my landscaping. I can only guess that if these are used in a rheostat type switch, then they can be dimmed, but I am no expert and haven't tried it.

Ronnie,Yes! I use them with a dimmer switch and they work great. I have had no problems.Gary Moore

Yes,i think so. I have used them on a dimmer, but I do not know if I am doing any harm.

I would say yes, but I'm not positive. I don't have that ability to dim them.

I assume so as the fixtures I use them in have a two brightness levels, Full, Half,& Off. I use most of them at half brightness except in the fixture over the sink which is always on High (Full Brightness). Since there is a filament any increment of dimming should function OK. Note: You can't beat the price as 19 of the 20 could be crushed in transit & it would still be 1/2 price of one retail bulb. You should be "good to go" - just buy them.

The bulb is non-dimmable according to the Plumen website and should not be used with a dimmer. http://usshop.plumen.com/products/plumen-001-screw-fitting

it's just a standard hard-wired light fixture like you would put in yout kitchen or dining room, so as long as you use standard old ligthbulbs or non-fluorescent new type ones that actualy say "dimmable" on the package then i would think so, yes...but these are made for outisde lighting, so usually dimming is not necessary....basically it's the bulb you use not the fixture that determines the dimmability.

Yes, the bulb life is very poor. After a couple of weeks, it dimmed and burned out,

Not sure if this is dim able but the light is extremely dim as is, you really wouldn't need to dim it.

i don't recall seeing anything on the package saying that is was dimmable. That would make me think it was not. Dimmable bulbs usually advertise themselves as such.

No, these bulbs are not dimmable. The bulbs should be labeled" Fully Dimmable Spiral CFL(2 Pack) 2700K"to be dimmable.

The bulb sockets are not the large. Its the small socket like you would have in a candelabra. A dimmer might not work with the bulbs you mention. Normal use is yes

Yes. I believe this dimmer is suitable for led bulbs and should definitely allow the brightness of those bulbs to be adjusted lower.

To my knowledge, I don't think so.There are cfl bulbs that are specifically designed for dimmer operation.

Absolutely. It's a standard filament-style bulb, so it works great with a dimmer.

No it will not. The only way to brighten the bulb is to increase the bulb's wattage. By lowering the voltage to the bulb you can make the bulb dimmer but the bulb will only burn as bright as its rated wattage due to the resistance built into the bulb that creates the actual wattage illumination. Increasing the amps will only make the bulb burn out quicker due to the excessive heat created by the higher amps.

No it can't. the most it can dim is to about half brightness. At this level the buzzing incresed by a factor of 4. It gets really loud (the buzzing). I previously said the best choice would be to use those dimmable LEDs but with an old fashion (not special) dimmer. That seems to work the best.

I don't know if it is dimmable when I installed mine I put them on a single switch - full on or full off as for replacement bulbs it is very unlikely you'll ever need as they are LEDs

Yes. A dimmer adjusts the voltage going to the bulb, so not dimmer, full power.

I don't think so. I use mine in a regular floor lamp. In all the literature and specs that I researched for this and many other bulbs they always specify if they are dimmable. This one did not. Very happy with this product though and will be ordering several more as I only ordered the one to check put the quality and output.

There is no knob on the lamp to turn it off and on. The "foot switch" is on the cord and is a press button off and on. I didn't put in a multiway bulb so Im not sure about the dimming but there are no knobs or switches on the lamp itself to make it dim either. It would have to be thru the button on the cord.
