Can someone tell me about how much the light can be dimmed? I am thinking I will use it for macro also and from what I read it will be bright enough for all else

It has great dimming ability as it has a wheel lowing you to adjust easily.

Not sure what macro is, but the light can be dimmed from off to full brightness with rolling switch. I use this to photograph interior home pictures and it has been great!

This light is good for macro and for those low light cases where you need a continuous light source and can't take your studio lights. In studios, this is not a substitute for studio lights. Not strong enough to fill the whole room with enough light. However for closeups, this is great. Pretty strong light for short range up to a meter, so I use it for those purposes.

It can be dimmed essentially down to nothing with just a faint glow before being switched off... dimming wheel works great and is easily accessible

The light can be dimmed from cero the the maximun and the light is very intense, very nice!

There are 3 brightness settings, high, med and low. At its brightest it is equivalent to about 40 watts, some colors will make it look even dimmer.

No dimming that I know of. I would say that it would probably be too bright for a bedroom.

Don't know the technical details, but you won't have that problem with this one. You might even find it to be too much. I've read some people use light switch type dimmers to lower the power and I believe it.

I wish I could give you an accurate answer, however, new have only had the light for about a month. We really do love it. It is not blinding light, but a very soft accent lamp. We have not noticed any dimness of the light since we put it out. I have recommended this light to my family and friends, and would do to anyone who is looking for a non-wired light!

I have it 2 feet away on my desk. It takes a little getting used to and then it's fine. It does have a two settings, one is very bright and the other is not as bright. I usually use the dimmer light.

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

Well David, that is a good question. I have a light meter, but not where I have this equipment. What would you like to use this to illuminate? I may be able to answer based on your application. The range of color is amazing and it has worked perfect for anything where I have used this item. I have been quite pleased and I was trying to imagine the brightest setting and I can say that the light this strip throws is quite impressive. Sorry I cannot be exact with the lumens but If I knew what you would be using this for I could tell you if it would work, possibly.

I use it on my wood workbench... I have not had any issues with reflected light. The LEDs are bright but disfused, so there is no concentration of brightness... hope this will help you. The only thing that I noticed was it can have a tendacy get to hot on the tip if left on for extended periods of time. So I unplug it if I will not be using for more than ten minutes...then plug it back in as it does heat up quite quickly in less than a minute.

It depends on your settings. I'm usually using mine at full power, so it's going to be more like 2-3 for me. If you use dimmer settings and you aren't watching a video or something that takes up more battery it's going to last longer.

I first tried it with the old dimmer but it flickered a lot when starting up. Also, there wasn't quite as big a range of illumination. I had a new install as well with a LED dimmer and that has a much wider range of illumination--all the way down to barely visible. Using Lutron dimmers that state that they are for LEDs. Good luck, and welcome to the future!

The brightness can be adjusted from dim to bright..and it also depends on the watt of the light bulbs, i'm sure. I am using standard chandelier bulbs. I use it in my livingroom in my 1 bedroom apt. And it lights the entire room from a corner.

Sorry, I didn't play around with the adjustments (don't even know how to do them). I'm happy with the levels and don't recall how bright it was before. Love how well it dims my led cans.

Never tried to dim it since it is a DC lamp. I will say that the lamp is incredibly BRIGHT.

In a fully dark room, once your eyes adjust then this would work. The lighting it very dim. Sorry I cant give you an empirical measurement in lumens.

As long as you start it in regular mode high it won't dim. I'm only dim if started in dimming mode (straight up and down)

Not sure if this is dim able but the light is extremely dim as is, you really wouldn't need to dim it.
