are they dimmable CFLs ?

If you have an older dimmer switch, do not use these bulbs. CFLs require a newer 3-way dimmer switch. I had to pay an electrician $60 to learn this :)

No as far as I know they aren't. But I don't really have any dimmers in my house. These are not the real breight ones.

per the back of the package "Not intended for use with emergency exit fixtures or lights, electronic timers, photocells, or with dimmers"

They are not made to be dimmable. They do dim but then burn out as a result of multiple dimming events.

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

They are not dimmable. Tried about 10 different dimmers. You may get lucky enough to have them dim about half way but they will make an unacceptable and annoying humming sound. Do not purchase if you need to dim them.

Yes, they are. However, I don't think you need to dim them. You can simply replace them with 4W bulbs and keep them on all year round as I did for my staircase.

As far as I can tell, they are not dimmable. I do not have a dimmable switch, but on the box it is not mentioned that they are dimmable.

Yes, and as far as I know just about every lighting fixture is dimmable with the right type of bulb and the right type of dimmer switch for the bulb that you have. I know these work with incandescent, CFL and LED dimmable bulbs (with a dimmer switch designed to control all three types).

I can't imagine that they are, but to address that which qualifies them for ES compliance: Brightness: I honestly don't think they match the light output of 40 watt bulbs, but they're not nearly as dim as 20w bulbs. Constant light output level: I've had mine for a while and haven't noticed any notable degradation in the output. Color quality: It's awful close to a standard uncoated incandescent. Efficiency: Better than CFLs. Instant on: Couldn't be better. Dim flickering: I don't have any dimmers so I can't test it, but I believe these particular bulbs are not designed to dim. Off state power draw: Couldn't detect any flowing current. Hope that helps!

I'm no electrician but I would presume so if they are specifically noted as "dimmable." I finally installed the fixture and I like it very much. Though it is only about a week or so up and running, so who really knows.

It says on the side of the box "not for use with dimmers". However, I bought these a couple years ago, perhaps things have changed... I would see what you can find in LED rather than CFL. You will be happier, I think.

Yes they are dimmable. I use these in my motor coach that mounted in the ceiling with a dimmer switch.

Yes, the light is dimmable; the unit comes with two 50watt candelabra base bulbs.

They are dimmable with a standard dim switch, but I wouldn't recommend it. They end up making a weird humming noise that isn't fun.

No they are not. The only one I have seen with a dimmer at a reasonable price came from overstock.com

Yes, assuming you use lamps which are dimmable. some LED's and CFL's are not dimmable. Check the package.

I use the dimmers with LED lights, but according to the manufacturer, they're supposed to work with CFLs as well.

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.
