If don't know if they are dimmable, I've only used them for outdoor landscaping floodlights.

Sorry I did not read the question completly the 1st time. These bulb are not dimmable, you could dye the outer lens darker.

I'm not sure if there is such a thing as a 12-volt dimmer, but that's the answer if they exist. I'm not aware of any 12-volt LED's that come in less wattage than this one.

We installed a dimmer switch that allows us to dim it. I think it's perfect when it's dimmer because it allows us to have a little light but also looks wonderful.

Just lightly tap the on off indicator. If you hold it down dims or brightens. Lightly tap

I would just remove the dimmer and plug directly into a switch-controlled outlet. You could use a dimmer switch to control the outlet, which would accomplish your objective.

First check to see if the dimmer is turned on. It is possible that the bulb you bought is broke. Try another one first. Thanks

I am sure, its not possible to install a dimmer, it uses a fluorescent circular bulb, it won't dim.

Did you try the dimmer switch? It should be in the off position. The bulb should not be hard to remove. Grasp the bulb close to the base and turn counter clockwise. If that doesn't fix the problem exchange it. You will get years of enjoyment from this bowl. Since you haven't seen it lit, you have missed how lovely it truly is and how wonderful it works. I have three different ones. They are always on. Also give as gifts.

I have it connected to incandescent lights, but I think the ability of the LED to dim is on the bulb manufacturer not the dimmer. You must look for damnable LED bulbs.

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.

You will need a dimmer made for CFL and LED bulbs. They are readily available and only cost a little more than standard ones.

Press the long square button in the middle of your unit several times and the light will dim down until it is completely off. This will take care of it.

Well when you dim an incandescent bulb, you decrease the voltage applied to the bulb. A linear Taper Potentiometer will do the job. Dimming an LED is a whole other ball game. With a PWM LED dimmer, the dimmer will actually turn the LED on an off at around 200 hz (faster than the eye can see it flashing). The length of time the LED is off versus when it is on determines how (bright) the LED appears to us to be. Doing this with an incandescent set up may not actually dim the bulb. Incandescent bulbs work by feeding electricity through a small wire that gets hot and glows (which is the light we see). Simply turning that current on and off so many times a second would not dim the glowing wire in the way you wish it would, I suspect.

You can only control the brightness by leaving a bulb (or bulbs) out (it takes 3 bulbs), or changing the wattage of the bulbs you are using. There is no "dimmer" switch, just on or off.

You are not supposed to dim any CFLs that I know of. That's one advantage of LEDS. However, I have dimmed CFLs in the past, maybe I was just lucky but nothing happened other than they got dim. I try to avoid it though.

I have the fan connected to a light switch, so you may be able to dim it using a dimmer switch. The pull cord for the light just turns it on and off.

I think you could dim it from the switch also.... I know you could from the dimmer, however I did away with these type switches.....they started coming on by themselves. I went with the heavy duty models and never had any more trouble.

I've never seen a dimmer on a Mailbu type system, but I would think it is possible to dim LED bulbs. I think the dimmer would have to be on the main-plug before the transmitter. Most dimmers work by quickly turning off and on the voltage so that the average current is lower, at the same voltage, so the LED's should still turn on.
