I see that the blue light on the top has a dimmer. Does it turn completely off? I want to use this in my bedroom, but I don't want any light shining

My husband says there is a dimmer switch, but I like it on full blast as my night light so I don't fall down hobbling to the bathroom all night.

The switch is only On/Off, and is a stepper switch, meaning it's intended to be placed on the floor to be toggled by pressing with your foot. Again, the lamp does NOT come with a dimmer function. Otherwise it is an excellent lamp. I've had no trouble with mine since it arrived and it still looks great. I hope this helps.

This is a dimmer. But it also acts as an on/off switch. So from the lowest setting it is off then the highest setting is 100% brightness. If it is in the middle, the power is 50%.

You can turn the light off with a switch located on the base. The fan has a button to turn it off and on and the fan and light work independent from each other. I've got two I use for both of our laptops and they are a valuable accessory. The light is bright enough for me to do work at night without all the lights on in my house. It's worth every penny it costs. I velcro mine to my desktop to avoid knocking it over but that's not a necessity. I'm just clumsy and don't want to break it.

Yes, it gets dimmer when it is not connected to power, but it is backlit and very nice!

No it does not have any dimming mechanism. That would be nice but I don't know that it is necessary. I only have my full lighting come on in the late afternoon and turn of around 10pm. Then the blue light is on for a couple of hours. Having the full lighting come on in the middle of the day the ambient light has already lessened the effect of just blasting the aquarium with bright lighting all at once.

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.

It can be dimmed to half but not turned off. I just turn it facing away so it does not distract me. Its very lightweight so easy to do.

When it's dark and you have lights off you can see the blue light inside. We just use the unit on low settings so have no problems with the unit shutting off. We have two units and love them.

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

It is truly silent. I don't think you want to turn the light off because that's what neutralizes the particles. It is a blue light, but if you need it totally dark in the room to sleep then move it. This unit really works. I have own it for almost 2 years and bought one for a friend and he swears by it. I'm thinking about getting a second one because I spend the night in two seperate places in a week.

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.

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)

Hello, I have a dimmer switch in my bedroom and I put the switch in the middle and the night light is still on. It's a great night light real bright. I will definitely recommend it.

I don't think you can turn off the blue light, but it is dim and doesn't create much light.

Thank you. After more research, I too think it is not dimmable. I did find a source for one, so all is good.Kevin

Previous answer indicates it can be turned off. I find it's pretty dim, and isn't a distraction for me.
