How many settings is there, to dim the light? Is it just High, Medium &amp; Low, or are there more?

Dimming of the light is a variable rheostat type function. There are no presets. The fan speeds are preset to high-medium-low.

The dimmer has an On/Off switch at the bottom. You can set the dimmer slider to your desired brightness. When you turn the dimmer switch ON the brightness level has been set as in PRESET.

Not sure about the wattage but you hold down the button and it dims up and then down to desired brightness. It's not a super bright system.

Yes the light can be turned off. You press the light button and it comes on to the brightest level. Then you press it again and it goes to medium brightness. Then you press it again and it goes to lowest brightness. You press it again and the lights go out. I got this for my wife and she loves it.

Yes! There are multiple light settings. The first one is a light show slowly changing into all the colors. The others are for each continuous color and finally the off setting which was the reason I bought these so I could leave them on at nightime in my children's bedrooms without keeping them awake. The fan is pretty quiet as well, however, 2 of the 4 units I bought has started to make a louder humming sound that is not so soothing at night so I'm not happy with that but still one of the best value option on the market.

I'm not sure what type of dimming it has, but it definitely seems to be changing the brightness level on it's own, for some reason. I'd like to disable this feature, if I could figure out how. I turned off "Dynamic contrast" and "Dynamic backlight", but this didn't help.

Yes, on top of the unit is a button that allows you to to either control lighting to 7 different levels of brightness or, if you desire, completely off. Great little radio, still recommend.

Don - My bad. Ignore 1st answer I gave. I had it confused with another model. The 3 settings are kind of tricky on this light. You twist it to make it come on. That gives you one brightness level. Next, twist it off and twist it back on again. The 2nd time it comes on it will be at a different level. Repeat those steps a 3rd time and you get the 3rd brightness level setting. I think it also remembers the last setting you used before turning it off so next time you use your light it will be preprogrammed to that level. What I do if I am looking for a particular level is to turn it on and off (twist it on and off) rapidly until it achieves the level I want. Hope that helps.

No dimmer, 1 light, 2 lights, 3 lights, off. Nice lamp, you need a high ceiling, it is a tall floor lamp.

It works well for our master bedroom! Also note that the light dims! It's not listed in the manual or on this listing (from what I recall), but if you hold down the 'on' button on the remote, you can control it. It makes me wonder if some people perhaps do not know that and have the light more dim than it can be. Then again, some people like it really bright and I suppose it also depends on what room you plan to have it in!

We thought of trying a dimmer switch, but my husband wasn't sure the bulbs it uses would work for that. Would be real nice to be able to dim this beautiful light. Good Luck!

I am not sure how that exactly works. If you turn the head a little bit, the beam gets dimmed a little bit but not much. I did not even notice that it has two levels. It is not like a dimmer on the wall where you can turn it down to zero. It is still very bright, so if you are looking for a flash light that you can use to "gently" walk through a room where people sleep, this is not the one. Looking in the light will hurt your eyes, even on level two.

I know this is a little old, but I just want to clarify that four of the previous answers are definitely incorrect (maybe the light was updated?... doubt it though). There are 2 modes. The default mode (what it goes back to after not being used for about 1 second from my testing) is full brightness mode. It does have a dim brightness mode that you can activate by double tapping the button before clicking it to lock it down.

You cannot dim the one that I received. However, I really like it. You turn mine on and off by stepping on this little foot switch on the floor. We use it over our table that we play cards on and it work perfectly for us.

We just use typical incandescent chandelier size bulbs (they are about 3 inches long and the glass swirls around slightly. There really isn't a "dimming" feature, the touch light just lights up in steps (three) from not much light up to full watt strength. It's a toggle mechanism so if you are at the strongest level of light, the next touch turns the light off and you then start over at the bottom by touching the metal. [Apologies if this is way more info than you needed or if you already knew all this -- if it's not working properly, perhaps you just got a defective light.]

I don't like the dimming but it is a battery saver. What I don't like even more is the screen contrast. No options. My sky caddy has 4 or 5 settings, much better. Additionally I don't like the side controls, to easy to accident push one when grabbing it. Hope that helps.

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.
