Are these dimmable with the 7W bulbs included? If not, has anyone purchased bulbs that will dim with these? What is the bulb type?

The bulbs are incandescent so I would think they are dimmable. They are essentially night lihts. We installed four of these as step lights on our stairway and they work great in that application. Since they are only 7watts you may not need to dim them.

Yes, they are. However, I don't think you need to dim them. You can simply replace them with 4W bulbs and keep them on all year round as I did for my staircase.

Yes, they are incandescent and should be dimmable. I've had them along the stairway in my house - they last a long time. I have not changed one yet.

I am sure they will dim. they are just a regular incandescent bulb. you will likely not want them dimmed tho. They do work very well.

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.

I'm no electrician but every bulb ise dimmable with a dimmer switch. I used a LED light with the one I bought and mine is on a day light / night switch but I'm sure it's dimmable and it works great!

I don't have mine on a dimmer but remember they are only 7 watts which is a very low light.

I had to get LED bulbs, my electrician installed CFLs that were marked,"not for use with dimmer". He said they were, but I also saw the box they came in and it said not for use with dimmer. The LEDs cost more, but are engineered to last much longer than CFLs. I am looking at them now, and I think it was worth the money to get the LEDs. They seem brighter than the CFL bulbs also.

No. They are none dimmable unless you purchase a led light that has dimming capabilitys. Even with the proper switches, the drivers for the light are not compatible .

1. The dimmable bulbs will dim if you have the right dimmable switch..... (not the old style analog one but the new digital one) 2. NO... they are not.... you will need to buy the extra covers...

As far as I can tell, they are not dimmable. I do not have a dimmable switch, but on the box it is not mentioned that they are dimmable.

No, these light bulbs are full light bulb sized, standard like a table lamp or light fixture.Side note... These do not like to be on a dimmer. I put them on a light with a dimmer switch and they burned the switch out.

They are dimmable, but they are of a substandard quality to the ones that came originally with my fixtures. They have burnt out in an eighth of the time the originals did.

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.

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.

I believe that they are. While I do not have this specific bulb running of a dimmer switch, they're the same wattage and type as those installed in a couple of our ceiling fans (with dimmer capability). The only difference is that these are slightly longer than those in the fans.

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

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

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...!

Jennifer, they didn't work at all for me. The lamps would not stay on. I bought them because the swiitches on our lamps kept stripping out. We would up just having the switches replaced. The dimmers went in the "i bought it but it doesn't work" graveyard.

I used regular bulbs......led dimmers were too expensive; therefore, I haven't tried.

No - these are non-dimmable. There is another, though - the Maxxima LED A19 Light Bulb 8 Watt Warm White which is dimmable and works great.
