Is this bulb dimmable without changing dimmer switch to something special?

If there were a requirement for a special dimmer, I suspect that the product description would so state. These are excellent bulbs, even though I don't use them with a dimmer. The color temperature is that of a very high wattage incandescent bulb, and very close to that of sunlight. If, by chance, they don't work properly with a dimmer (and you will know very quickly if that is the case) Amazon will issue you a label, you slap it on a box, and drop off at UPS, or a UPS store, and you will have your money refunded. Amazon is very zealous about it's reputation, and will bend over backwards to keep you happy. If there were a requirement for a special dimmer, I suspect that the product description would so state.

If you are spending the kind of money for this type of lighting, it is wise to also upgrade the dimmer switch with one that is especially made for LED and CFL bulbs.

Yes, it will dim on any dimmer BUT you're supposed to use a special CFL/LED dimmer (aka C/L dimmer). The ones for incandescent/halogen bulbs will likely buzz and not control your LEDs (or CFLs) right - C/L dimmers have an adjustment that lets you specify the dimmest setting and think they circuitry to eliminate electronic noise (buzzing). You're looking at a really nice bulb, so spend $20 or so on the right dimmer. Lutron is one manufacturer I've used.

We don't have them on a dimmer switch so we don't know. You should ask the manufacturer that question.

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

Sorry, I don't know. I love the fixture but have it in the kitchen where I don't have a dimmer switch. I've had other fixtures hooked up to dimmers by an electrician and don't see any reason why this one couldn't be. Best to check with an electrician, though.

I do not have mine set on a dimmer and I did not install it so I am unable to answer the question

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

It has to be dimmable but any bulb will do. Incandescent or fluorescent dimmable. You COULD use a non dimmable fluorescent, but if you accidentally dimmed it, it would be fried.

I did not use the unit with a dimmer, but it is listed as dimmable with a standard dimmer. I would just be sure you meet the minimum load the unit requires and that the lamps are listed.

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!

Your dimmer switch doesn't have to be compatible, the light bulb does. It will say LED dimmable in description

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

No. The dimming feature is strictly manual operation only. There is an on/off switch for the blue and white light and each has a knob to manually dim the light.

No it does not have a dimmer switch. Really isnt needed,it gives off soft light,much like a night light does. I use red bulbs in mine and never turn them off.

In an earlier reply I stated that this switch does not dim LED bulbs. As it turns out I just didn't hold the button down long enough. It's not the best dimmer around, but it is reasonably acceptable.

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

Yes, it is dimmable - but limited (not to very low brightness as the common light bulbs). I don't know what it does on the long run if it would break - I only tried it a short time (5 Minutes)
