The technical details state this is a LED lamp but the reviews appear to say it is fluorescent. Which is it? Also is it dimmable ?

It appears to me to be fluorescent, but the light is blue/white as most LEDs are. And no, it is not dimmable. I would be happier if it had a better adjustable goose neck but I still find it helpful for hand piecing, quilting and binding.

It is fluorescent--not dimable--and is not very bright at all. I was disappointed, but too lazy to return it. I have another Ott light that is a flip up type, and it is great, but this one is almost too weak to read by.

the bulb replacement shown with the ottlite 848 MG2 is not correct (13W). The lamp takes a 9W linear bulb Ott 10838 type "Y". Please correct me if i am wrong. It appears to be a error.

I do believe it is fluorescent. It takes a minute or so to warm up to full brightness but it's not the orange or blue type fluorescent. It's a bright white light. It is not dimmable.

No, it is not dimmable. Maybe they meant the silver-like color of the lamp...I use it since months: works well.

It's somewhere between those two. It definitely doesn't have the level of yellow of and incandescent bulb. It's not as white as a fluorescent. I liken this more as the light from a bright day. I was looking for something similar to an incandescent, but this opened my eyes to how more white could actually be good. I've bought several and think this quite an improvement in the market.

These lamps are neither halogen nor fluorescent. They are LED ( light emitting diodes ). No glare. You will love this lamp!

Not dimmable. You can put a smaller watt bulb in so that it's not as bright, however.

This is a special daylight bulb, neither CF nor LED. I think it is some type of fluorescent. I don't know about lumens. It is nice and bright, very good for needlework.

I have this lamp. Believe it means one can use a 3-way dimmable CFC bulb, which I do.

The light is NOT dimmable. I bought it to grow an herb plant and it wasn't very helpful. I wish I would of bought another flourscent instead. Hope this helps.

It is not an LED. It uses a gas discharge principle like a Neon sign. The tube gets slightly warm.

The package said nothing about it being dimmable. I don't have it hooked to a dimmer so I don't know. It is quite bright.

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

There is no real "brightness" to this lamp. It provides a nice mellow light. Suitable for recreational reading, but no late night studying kind of light. There is a foot switch on the floor, where you tap your foot on it and it turns on or off. Mine does not have dimmable lights. Just flat on or off. Hope this helps:)

It's just a light fixture with three sockets. Whether or not it's dimmable is entirely dependent on the bulb you screw into the sockets. So yes, it's dimmable.

I wouldn't bet my life on it but if it was an LED it would more than likely specify LED in the description. It's a selling plus when a device contains LED(s) so manufacturers always include that in the product description. This appears to be a low voltage incandescent bulb. It's a fairly standard lighted button and the contacts often wear out before the bulb. I've replaced several.

It is not dimmable, it come with a controller with 7 spastic blinking functions. Steady on is number 7 on the push list so you have to scroll through everytime you turn it on. Needless to say I removed the controller and soldered the wires to direct on! And the final comment I will say about this product is, it was shipped from china which took 2 weeks and they have a similar product at home depot (harbor breeze-home depot brand) in the lamp isle!

I cant confirm or deny if it is an LED light but it is in no way bright to the point that it is disturbing in a pitch dark room. I would say its almost unnoticeable. It produces a minor blue hue.

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.
