Can I dim these bulbs?

No. You will need to buy bulbs that are labeled as dimable. The dimmer switch used will have to be for cfl bulbs and match the power consumption rating matches the particular bulbs you buy.

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.

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.

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.

Hi there, out of the box they are not dimable. I bought a cord with a dimmer switch and pluged the lights into it. Now it works like a charm, I can dim them down really low at night now or really bright depending on the mood.

Hmm.. I don't think so... They put off a very soft warm lighting though...you can look directly at the light bulb and see its vintage inards. So probably wouldn't need to dim.

Yes. That's what I had were fluorescent under cabinet lights and installed them in same location. Also, these led lights are dimmable so if you want to dim them, you will need a led dimmable switch. Howe we, you don't have to dim them.

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

Yes, you can use dimmable bulbs as long as your dimmer is compatible. Yes, I have installed them next to insulation without any problem.

I have LED bulbs in the fan now. I do not have them set up on a dimmer but that should not be a problem either.

No, the ones I received only had a switch. These are not really bright lamps, so to me a dimmer wouldn't be necessary.

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.

You can dim them, but they are the size of a regular 60W bulb and weigh much more. So don't know if they will fit in the space for a mini flood spot.

I would not do that, but a licensed electrician would be abke to verify that. Most flourescent bulbs will NOT dim. It is the way they are built!

I don't have them in a dimmer-enabled switch, but my guess would be not dimmable.

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

No they can't be dimmed. On / off only they are spot lights not driving lights. Off road only. They are very bright and great for four wheeling. Or provide a great work light. Only draws 20 watts and delivers a lot of light.

They are likely to work fine and dim. I have around 15 of these bulbs installed in similar fixtures and frequently have them dimmed, using several different types of dimmers.
