Will these light operate well, and be dimmable, on a dimmer switch? (e.g. Brightness adjustable via a dimmer switch).

No! You will void any warranty that comes with this particular fixture if you dim it.

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.

I am using LED bulbs and am dimming them with the switch. So far, no problems and is working fine...make sure the bulbs state they are, in fact, dimmable.

I have mine in the bedroom of my apartment on a dimming switch and they seem to work just fine with the dimmer. I also have them upstairs on a non-dimming switch and they work equally as well.

Hi - Manufacturer here. These can be controlled by a light controller just fine. On and Off are no problem, but I have been told that it is not good to dim (any) LED sets. Whether or not that is true, I don't know exactly. However, these can be turned on/off no problem. - Mark

I 'm not sure. But as they have a resistance [like old bulbs], I guess they should be dimmable.

Yes - these bulbs are inherently less bright than traditional bulbs (due to design) -- as you would expect, old light bulbs from many years ago don't produce as much light as current bulbs... having said that, there are no special requirements with regard to dimming - any incandescent dimmer will work with these bulbs as long as it is rated for the wattage (which virtually all dimmers are... only an issue if you put a bunch on one circuit) -- I love em... and I use a dimmer All the best - George

The other respondent appears to be wrong; or lucky. We ordered them and they don't work with the dimmer in our kitchen. Now that we have the box, can see that nothing indicates they would be dimmable. Work otherwise, just a warning to others who may not be sure...

Most any dimmer will "work" with a dimmable bulb, but the low priced dimmers don't dim as well. Not a smooth transition, flickering, etc.

We didn't use dimmable bulbs, but my electrician husband says that if it is a dimmable bulb it should work.

No problem working with a dimmer. I love the light but will caution they have a disappointingly short life for the price.

i had them on a dimmer switch. one of them would have a vibration noise. that same bulb would also not shut off when the dimmer was off. at a low setting, they would not work well. so they do work, but probably not ideal.

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.

Yes, these bulbs are dimmable. We use them in our dining room chandelier with a dimmer. I'm not sure about the lumen output.

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.

it's just a standard hard-wired light fixture like you would put in yout kitchen or dining room, so as long as you use standard old ligthbulbs or non-fluorescent new type ones that actualy say "dimmable" on the package then i would think so, yes...but these are made for outisde lighting, so usually dimming is not necessary....basically it's the bulb you use not the fixture that determines the dimmability.
