Can you dim the unit at all?

I don't think so. I never did, but it may be possible. Although the unit had a lot going for it, small, light, very bright for its size, it was obviously a step too far and has been withdrawn by Optoma. The comments about customer service by other reviewers have resulted in me steering clear of Optoma now I'm looking for a replacement. The LED light source seemed so much better than incandescent filament, but I'm returning to conventional bulbs as the light source, because my usage is low.

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

No, it only switches on and off; no dimmer. Pretty handy if you have a power cord without a switch.

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

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.

The light can be dimmed only by turning off one of the switches. There are two switches on each soft box. You can't control the output internally other than the type of light bulbs that you use. Check out some videos on YouTube, you might find other ones that you like.

You don't have to install the CFL bulbs that come with the unit. You can install LED types which ARE able to be dimmed.

Not sure. I'm sure that depends upon the bulb you use. A dimmed switch should be able to dim most any fixture...

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.

NO - the unit has a switching power supply for the LEDs. A dimmer would do nothing to the brightness other than on/off at some point in the range.

Yes you can dim the brightness of the lamp, this is one of my favorite features!

no the volt meter cannot be turned off or dimmed but it is not overly bright.

There is no "Auto-dimming" however if my memory serves me correct there is a feature to change between a "day" and "night" mode. I believe this was kinda a step filled process though and not just a click on one button.Still it was a good deck for my Jeep and at the price there isn't really anything better.

No it cannot. These is a scene controller so it controls scenes that are run. It allows up to 4 scenes and you can also control dimming.

I learned the hard way - no. You must have a master. When installed without, the light stays on. It cannot be turned off/dimmed.

Cannot answer dimable. They are about as bright as a 9 watt which they replaced. Very happy with them.

Yes, on top of the unit is a button that allows you to to either control lighting to 7 different levels of brightness or, if you desire, completely off. Great little radio, still recommend.
