can this bulb be dimmed?

I don't have any dimmers anymore, but the product information says "not dimmable".

I don't think so. I use mine in a regular floor lamp. In all the literature and specs that I researched for this and many other bulbs they always specify if they are dimmable. This one did not. Very happy with this product though and will be ordering several more as I only ordered the one to check put the quality and output.

I have not tried dimming. But I suspect that it would respond like regular tube fluorescent. My 200 watt CFL gives a blue-ish glow which took a bit to get used to. But it works fine.

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.

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 can't. the most it can dim is to about half brightness. At this level the buzzing incresed by a factor of 4. It gets really loud (the buzzing). I previously said the best choice would be to use those dimmable LEDs but with an old fashion (not special) dimmer. That seems to work the best.

i don't recall seeing anything on the package saying that is was dimmable. That would make me think it was not. Dimmable bulbs usually advertise themselves as such.

I think so, but you might want to check with the manufacturer - Progressive Lighting. They have a great customer service department. You would, of course have to get dim-able bulbs (!). I have it set up on a switch -- I am one of those females who doesn't know anything about electrical matters!

Yes it can be connected to a dimmer. However make sure you get bulbs that are compatible for dimming. Some of the low energy bulbs will not work. Check the bulb packaging.

These are bulbs cannot be dimmed. It's fluorescent so it can be a bit on the bright side.

Yes, it can. You just press down on the top to turn it on or off. It can be dimmed. I think it will remember the last brightness setting used.

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.

No, it is not dimmable. It radiates such beautiful light, you may not want to dim it anyway.

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.

The only way to dim would be to use a low voltage inline dimmer, you can try a lutron dimmer switch but I don't believe it work because it is not a damnable driver

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

There is no knob on the lamp to turn it off and on. The "foot switch" is on the cord and is a press button off and on. I didn't put in a multiway bulb so Im not sure about the dimming but there are no knobs or switches on the lamp itself to make it dim either. It would have to be thru the button on the cord.

I'm not sure. I'm not using it on a dimmer. I would guess you can but not from personal experience.
