Are these light dimmable? If not, are there any GX23-2 bulbs which are dimmable?

The bulb itself is dimmable, you just need to make sure that the ballast you're using is dimmable as well.

No. I do not know of any. I think because of there being a ballast in the fixture.

Mine are bright white but can be dimmed. I have found though that dimming these shortens the life of the bulbs. Amazon has by far the best price on these bulbs (120 volt). Must be very careful not to get fingerprints on bulbs when installing or replacing. Suggest use of rubber glove for this. Have never seen these in cool white but dimmer is excellent for ambiance and effect.

These say dimmable. I had an electrician tell me that I needed LED compatible dimmers, but they work on my old dimmers.

A dimming switch works only with a dimmable bulb. I don't believe fluorescent light bulbs are dimmable. The package the bulb came in would clearly indicate so if the bulb were dimmable. If you don't have the package, google the bulb to find out if it's dimmable.

No, the current models of the NanoLeaf bulb are not dimmable. They indicate they are working on a prototype, however.

Yes, these bulbs are dimmable. We use them in our dining room chandelier with a dimmer. I'm not sure about the lumen output.

These are not dimmable. Make sure the ones you buy say dimmable as a feature. If used with a dimming switch then they will flicker when turned on.

As far as I know all incandescents are dimmable, as long as you don't brighten them beyond their wattage.

The manufacturers website (www.lightingever.com) states that this bulb is not dimmable.

Yes. There is no reason why this bulb wouldn't be dimmable - it doen't contain any electronics or ballast as in a compact fluorescent. But it's already quite 'dim' to start off with!

I believe you do. The same thing happened to me. I called the distributor of the bulbs and they confirmed that the dimmer model I was using was not compatible. I would recommend calling them to see if any dimmer is compatible, since the specs say they are NOT dimmable. Dimming was not critical for me, so I replaced the dimmer with a simple switch and have had no problems.

You know what, I've never tried. But I don't think these bulbs have any special requirement as far as input is concerned. After all, the whole premise is that they use regular old filaments like early bulbs. A dimmer merely controls how much energy is allowed to get to the filament. I see no problem in trying to use these with a dimmer.

No they do not, if you mean the light saving spiral bulbs - these can not be dimmed NO. However I use the dimmer switch for the fan and the on & off switch for the light, this way I control the fan 1-2-3 speeds and turn on & off the light. They work fine.

Hello. Nope, they're no dimmable but you can adjust between half of the light (2 bulbs) or full (4 bulbs)oNn each lamp.

Not dimmable. If the socket is correct they will work at full briteness only

Some do. Packaging is often misleading and I would not chance these are dimmable. The ones I have say "instant on and dimmable". Also they tend to rate differently, some 800 lumens will be equivalent to a 60 bulb. Hope that helps.

They are without a doubt dimmable...! Not sure why others would say otherwise... as for lumens.. my best guess would be 100... closest conversion I could find was a 40 watt bulb = 450 lumens...!
