Are these dimmable I want to use them in my basement. Are these dimmable? Can i use the dimmer switch on these bulbs?

I just got these today. They dim slightly, maybe to 75% when the regular 65W flood bulbs are barely on.

Jonathan, it's dangerous to use non-dimmable CFs on a dimmer switch. The ballast could catch fire and the bulb will wear out quicker.

I do not have a dimmer switch, but fluorescent bulbs generally are not suitable for dimming. So my answer is no, you cannot use them with the dimmer switch.

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.

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

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

Not dimmable. I thought they were but the light just stays about half dim and wont turn off.

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.

Are they CFL light bulbs? I heard, but don't know for sure, that they may not be able to be dimmed. I'm probably all wet. My Lutron works GREAT and I love it. So sorry for your woes.

Per the LED Wholesalers website, these are equivalent to 45-50 watt light bulbs so it would be the same as using a lower watt light bulb in your fixture so it will be alright. Per the product specification it states these are not dimmable and from my experience I would not use on a dimmer circuit since it will drastically shorten the life of the bulb since the circuitry is not designed for this application, also will void the warranty of the bulb.

Yes, these are incandescent halogen bulbs, and they work fine on a dimmer. If you are installing a new high voltage (120v) *dimmer*, you may need to ensure the dimmer is compatible with the power supply/transformer for the low-voltage fixture. If everything is already in place and working and all you're doing is replacing bulbs, you are good-to-go.

Not dimmable as far as I know. I haven't tried using dimmers on them. My guess would be that they don't work like that. I'm sure you an find LEDs that do however. Good luck.

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 .

I have used led bulbs in fixtures with dimmers and did change anything with the hardware. I DID HOWEVER make sure that the bulbs were listed as dimmable before i installed them and i have had no problems at all.

Yes, they're dimmable. We use them in our kitchen and living room, both of which are on a dimmer switch.

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.

dear adam...we use them in the kitchen on a dimmer...the package does not say one way or the other...we have no problems with dimming them....the only drawback is they do burn hot and they burn out rather quickly...paying more for the led bulbs might be more cost effective in the long run....they last a long time and do not burn hot...hope this helps

I installed them using a standard on/off switch on my kitchen. I haven't install a dimmer but it seems to me that a standard on/off switch with dimmer should work.
