do I need a dimmer for this light in a 6' by 12' entry way.

Need? No. You probably won't feel like you're walking under the sun. Want? Maybe. I think all overhead lighting should be on a dimmer, but that's just me. A dimmer switch isn't expensive and can readily be installed after the fact. So try it without the dimmer if you like and install one if you want control over the brightness.

A dimmer switch? No you don't NEED one, in fact it probably works better without one.

I don't think you would need a dimmer. We have ours in a 12' x 12' dining room and although the light looks great, it is not very bright. I think it will be fine in a 6' x 12' space without a dimmer.

I wouldn't think so. While it's a bright light, it's not "focused" so it's kind of diffused. I can see using a dimmer though if you want a night light effect. Really a neat light.

That's about the area I have and no, it's not that bright, in fact I wish it were a bit brighter, but it is really neat!!

We hung this light in the leaving room and don't have a dimmer for it. Remember, this light is not very bright!

No you don't because it is a beautiful fixture but it is not very bright. It will be gorgeous for an entry way. I used it for a bedroom and with the side lamps I get enough brightness.

Sorry I haven't responded sooner but i dont check my mail everyday, the manufactor does not recommend installing a dimmer on this.

Yes, you can use a dimmer with this (I do), provided you have the right light bulbs. This sconce holds two bulbs that go into a traditional screw-in socket.

Honestly - I don't know. Thses are the only lights we do not have dimmers with. That question needs to go to the seller. Good luck

No need. You can leave the light on one setting and use the control to dim.

2 basic choices for dimming. You either need a 12 volt dimmer that goes after your power supply & before the led strip or, you have to buy a magnetic dimmable power supply and then buy a special magnetic dimmer switch(Lutron makes one). This power supply is more expensive & some hear more noise from them.

The detailed specs list this as a "dimmable" item, so if you have a dimming switch installed, that should do the trick ...

Yes. It does dim but you want to use a dimmer designed for LEDs and CFLs (usually says something like "C-L Technology").

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

Is there a recommended dimmer switch that I can buy in Amazon itself ? Thanks in advance.

No, the box has to be at least 3"x4". Just kidding. Box size is not relevant. I tried dimming mine with a standard dimming switch, and like all LEDs, they dim okay to a point, then things start flickering and acting weird. There may be other dimmer switches you can put in that work best with LEDs, but the "normal" ones created to take incandescent bulbs from super low glow to bright only work to a point with LEDs. If you only want to dim them a little, you're good, but if you want to dim them way down, you're not.

I do not have mine set on a dimmer and I did not install it so I am unable to answer the question

Yes it is. You can also install it much farther, in order to get dim illumination. This fixture is a flood light, with a very wide angle of illumination, so maybe at 10 feet you may get more than 10 feet wide of light.

No, the ones I received only had a switch. These are not really bright lamps, so to me a dimmer wouldn't be necessary.

I don't think this light is made for a dimmer . I saw some in home depot that are made for dimmer

Yes. Used this light fixture in our nursery and installed a dimmer. Works great.

no the dimmer needs to be between the light and the power supply if you put it be for you will cut the power it requires and you take a chance of damaging the power supply
