can you use these with a dimmer?

You know what, I've never tried. But I don't think these bulbs have any special requirement as far as input is concerned. After all, the whole premise is that they use regular old filaments like early bulbs. A dimmer merely controls how much energy is allowed to get to the filament. I see no problem in trying to use these with a dimmer.

Hi. I haven´t try them with a dimmer switch but i cant see the reason why they would´t...

Id think so because the bulbs are OK for that, but I'm not sure. You might have to find a special low watt dimmer. On the other hand the light without a dimmer is not especially bright so you might not need one.

I do not know, I do not use them that way. Mine are hanging outside and I do not have a dimmer attached. But I will tell you this, they are absolutely beautiful just like they are!

I don't think so. They have a dc transformer. You can wire them into a non dim-able light switch. I bought a remote dimmer I can use to dim them.

They can be used with either a regular dimmer or with a standard light switch. In other words, you can use them just like a regular light bulb. I'm using mine on a regular on/off switch.

The dimmer switch won't work because the light have an inline convertor that controls the dimming. At least I don't think it would be recommended to use the dimmer switch with them.

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

I believe you can although I personally haven't done so. You can go without dimmer by cutting it off, or feed in a dimmer switch and output wires to the junction box.

I have never tried these with a dimmer but I do know that LEDs don't work with Dimmers

I'd think so. I can't imagine why not. I think the only issue with the dimmer would be the bulbs. LEDs for example can be very finicky about the dimmers.

No they just have an on and off the way I am using them. I am not sure if you can add a dimmer to these.

Hi, you could dim them if you hard wired them to a dimmer switch. You could also wire a dimmer switch on the line side of a receptacle and dim the lights through the receptacle that you plug your lights into. They are incandescent light bulbs so a dimmer will not damage them and they will work fine.

Yes. I recommend that you use a dimmer that is designed to dim LED's. They can be easily found at a home improvement store.

Yes, you can use a dimmer with this (I do), provided you have the right light bulbs. This sconce holds two bulbs that go into a traditional screw-in socket.

I have never used one in a dimmer, but the basics are the same so I do't see why not

They can, as long as you keep the dimmer turned up to full power.The orange light isn't that bright to begin with, and if you reduce the power going into these bulbs they won't light at all. They're more for decorative ambiance and effect than "real" light.
