Is this bulb dimmable?

Actually, they are NOT dimmable, see a previous post. The 1012WW ARE dimmable, but they are currently almost twice the price. Sorry for the confusion, the description does not make it very clear. (Just picked up another 1012WW, have bought several and will continue to buy more - they work very well and at 7.5W they're saving money and the environment.

it's just a standard hard-wired light fixture like you would put in yout kitchen or dining room, so as long as you use standard old ligthbulbs or non-fluorescent new type ones that actualy say "dimmable" on the package then i would think so, yes...but these are made for outisde lighting, so usually dimming is not necessary....basically it's the bulb you use not the fixture that determines the dimmability.

Yes, these bulbs are dimmable. We use them in our dining room chandelier with a dimmer. I'm not sure about the lumen output.

I'm no electrician but I would presume so if they are specifically noted as "dimmable." I finally installed the fixture and I like it very much. Though it is only about a week or so up and running, so who really knows.

it has a built in ballast. I would think it is dimmable (if you wire it with a dimmable switch) but i dont think i would. It does not put out much light anyway. It has very small halogen bulbs. This light fixture does look nice installed but it is a royal pain on the butt to put together. everything bolts together in that little chrome bulb with about 3 inch diameter clearance to work with

No these and most cfl bulbs are not dimmable. You want to look for 3-way cfl bulbs

The fixture can many times be dimmable or have a dimmable driver/adaptor installed and the lack will operate. The lamp itself is not dimmable

Mine is not dimmable. Foot switch just an on/off button. But I do love the lamp.

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.

To my knowledge, I don't think so.There are cfl bulbs that are specifically designed for dimmer operation.

I believe that they are. While I do not have this specific bulb running of a dimmer switch, they're the same wattage and type as those installed in a couple of our ceiling fans (with dimmer capability). The only difference is that these are slightly longer than those in the fans.

Any light has the ability to be dimmable; what you need is a dimmer switch. It has nothing to do with the fixture itself.

Usually dimmable refers to light bulbs. So if you put a dimmable light bulb into it, it should work.

I do not know the answer as to whether the bulb is dim able but I was disappointed in its lifespan. I bought (2) of these bulbs in August. They get less than an hour usage daily usage and one has already burnt out.

No. You can generally assume electronic light bulbs (such as CFL or LED) are not dimmable unless clearly marked as dimmable. The CFL item you are inquiring about is not made in a dimmable version. I hope this helps. Thank you, Kobe Lynn, Bulborama

It doesn't come with any dimming mechanism. However, someone else asked in another question about using dimming LED bulb and the answer was yes, it could be dimmable. Just depends on the kind of light bulb you use and the dimming switch that you use.
