Are these lights dimmable, if so what dimmer setup/switch type do you need to use?

I have only once tried to dim them using a Lutron dimmer that successfully dimmed six 50w halogen bulbs in a single fixture. This particular dimmer did not work with these LED bulbs. Perhaps another dimmer might but I don't have an installation to test them.

They are dimmable with a standard dim switch, but I wouldn't recommend it. They end up making a weird humming noise that isn't fun.

I do not know. I use them on regular ON/OFF circuits. Perhaps Amazon can get you in touch with the manufacturer?

Yes they are dimmable. I use these in my motor coach that mounted in the ceiling with a dimmer switch.

No these and most cfl bulbs are not dimmable. You want to look for 3-way cfl bulbs

They are not dimmable but I bought a $10 high voltage outdoor dimmer and it works great with the bulbs

I have used them in overhead recessed lighting. I don't know if you had the right switch if they might be dimmable.

They are not made to be dimmable. They do dim but then burn out as a result of multiple dimming events.

You need dimmable CFL's but I would not use these as you will not find the range of dimming very good and there is a hum sometimes. I would get energy efficent LED bulbs or just stick to incandescent.

I am using these with LEDs. Did you hook up neutral and are the lights known to be dimmable? Not all LEDs are...

i don't know. I put these bulbs into standard 110V fixtures wired with 24VAC low voltage landscape lighting. I didn't try using a dimmer.

Mine are super bright, but with what's included in the box, no.However, any light can be dimmable. LED's use DC current, these particular ones plug into standard 110v, then have a mini transformer to switch it to 12v DC. The "dimming" has to happen after that transformer where any full-range switch would work.If you search "LED rope light dimmer" on Amazon, there are interchangeable power cords that DO have dimmers on them that work with this product, but they will ONLY handle ONE 50' run.

No, these do not have a dimmer. It's a simple toggle. Amazon has others that dim and the descriptions usually state that.

Dear Sir,I use these light bulbs for all my outside landscape lighting without a dimmer switch, you may have to ask your local hardware store and take a bulb with you.

Is there a recommended dimmer switch that I can buy in Amazon itself ? Thanks in advance.

They are not dimmable. Tried about 10 different dimmers. You may get lucky enough to have them dim about half way but they will make an unacceptable and annoying humming sound. Do not purchase if you need to dim them.

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.

There is nothing from the manufacturer that states that these CANNOT be used with a dimmer, but I would ask a professional before installing.

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