-Dimmable option: not without locating a controller -4 plugs when using 2 lights: yes -Connected together: yes/no? I did exactly what you're talking about, I mounted 2 of these a few inches apart on my 48" wide 50 gallon tank. I searched for dimmers but was not happy with my results. These lights use an XLR power plug, these are the round 3 plug design you may have seen on things like audio controller boards (types DJ's use?). If you look at other brand LED lights here on amazon you'll see the dimmer these lights would need included with some of them. I can not find one of these alone though. On to the plugs. Because each light has the blue and white on different channels you can run them separately, but since they only come with a simple power cord you'll need a way to control them. The answer here is simple. You can buy 2 dual plug heavy duty (these have the ground plug) timers at your local wally world or home repair store. Prices will vary from $4 up to $10.Plug both the white lights into one timer and both your blue lights into the other. I have my whites running about 6 hours a day right now and the blue running around 8. The white turns on first, then the blue a little while later. FYI, there is an "aquarium power strip" available but IMO they designed the lighting control wrong, read the reviews and you'll see, it's hard coded to day-on, night-off and night-on day-off, so never any overlap, never any all off, etc.

There is a requirement for an installed plug. The units come with two switches, one is off and on the other is three way dim to bright. You have to have on/off switch for safety reasons. The wires are very thin. Hope this helps.

Hmm, I found this while running a search for dimmer switches! I'm curious if anyone knows if there is a similar switch made that also has a dimmer option included? I wasn't looking for something like this initially but love the idea!!

You can do either. It does come with a plug for an outlet. We added a dimmer switch and we are very happy with ours.

read other comments not recommending it either, dimmers are a rheostat unit, the light may work, buy two just in case; also, this is a large bulb, 85w, but the light output is VERY bright.

Yes. There is a dimmer switch on the cord. I have four of these lights. I love using them and they come in handy a lot. I will recommend if you order them to get extension cords.

The lights set comes with a control box where you plug all 4 lights and from that box the main power cord and in that box the control or controller where you set the speed or mode for the lights to dim or not as you like, also they will dim according to the music you playing, disco, romance or any. I also recommend to put one speaker closer to the lights for better dim depending how loud is the music, specially if it outside during summer by the pool or backyard. They are great lights for a set and heavy duty, not plastic. People loves those lights, they think is fancy if you own them and make any event to look much better and classic.

Have any of you used all these 3 outlets in one room? I wish there were 3 outlets and 3 remotes. If I have to walk around carrying the remote wherever the outlet is installed, what is the purpose of the remote?I bought a similar product at Menards for $9.99 to use in the bedroom to switch off the lamp.

not sure what dimmer option you are referring to. the control has 3 settings that were included. I actually leave mine on the dimmest setting at all times. love these lights and would definately buy again.

I have the 12 volt power supply plugged into the wall. The output of the power supply goes to the supplied on/off dimmer switch that I mounted on the wall. The dimmer has 4 levels of brightness. All in all it took about an hour to install. I used the tape and have not had any problems.Sheryl

You can use it for two different ones but I recommend to get the regular one without the dimming feature and get an outlet timer. The auto dim is slightly off with its timer. It keeps turning on earlier each day.

You won't need a dimmer switch because it can't be dimmer than it already is. I bought two of these and put them inside my shop, at night you can't tell they are on

Hi there, out of the box they are not dimable. I bought a cord with a dimmer switch and pluged the lights into it. Now it works like a charm, I can dim them down really low at night now or really bright depending on the mood.

Hi Zac - I havent actually tired this, but here's the issue - USB power requirements can be variable amperage. It is very rare to see a USB device which needs over 500mA (1/2 amp), in which case if all 4 of your lights are within this spec (as almost ALL USB lights are) you will be fine - all 4 will be bright. However I do know of some USB lamps which draw 850mA, in which case you could plug only 2 of those in. If they are the usual USB lights I'd not worry, should work fine. Let us know!

I have answered this to another potential buyer, here are my findings: I will speak from my experience. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A MANUFACTURER SUPPORTED OR RECOMMENDED MODE OF OPERATION!! MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!! I had the same problem: existing 12VDC with inline wireless dimmer. I checked the construction of the lamps, they are built simply as 4 1W LED's in series, without a current limiter or constant current source. I measured the voltage of the white adapter (~12V) and the current (~250ma). These measurement are consistent with an earlier measurement made on this type of LED (3,3-3,5V forward voltage). Considering the above observations, I used 3 of these LED lamps without the white converter, in parallel, fed by my existing 12V 5A power supply: current consumption ~0.5A yielding a total power of 6W for 3 lamps. It was clear to me that this will work well in my setup, more so when after adding my 12-24 wireless LED controller in series with the lamps (my wife prefers to dim the LEDs to 40%). Bottom line: works perfectly without the white converter, using my 12VDC power supply and the inexpensive wireless LED dimmers available on line. Also: the light hue is a perfect match to the incandescent bulbs they replace, without the greenish tint of some earlier white LEDs. Will update in a few months.
