Are these so bright they need a dimmer? If so, what dimmer works?

we did not find them overly bright. they are a nice warm light, but nontheless we put them on a dimmer from Home Depot that works for LED lights. We dont use the dimmer, but its there if we want it.

They are as bright as the ones replaced. Actually I like yah light better. You need a dimmer for this type of light. The incandescent one will not work.

Whether you need a dimmer or not depends upon the size of room and the number of lights you have. We have eight in our kitchen and don't need a dimmer, but we like a bright kitchen. We have two in the soffit of a double sink jack-and-jill bathroom, and it doesn't need a dimmer. We have two in the soffit of another small bathroom and don't have a dimmer. However, we have eight in the vaulted ceiling of our master bathroom (plus three sets of three-light fixtures over the two sinks and the dressing table), and we use a Lutron Ariadni toggler dimmer on those.

Yes they are dimmable but I doubt you will need to they have a great low yellowish light to them.

Jennifer, they didn't work at all for me. The lamps would not stay on. I bought them because the swiitches on our lamps kept stripping out. We would up just having the switches replaced. The dimmers went in the "i bought it but it doesn't work" graveyard.

Yes but you need a dimmer switch. They work really well in our bathroom and are bright.

Not dimmable. If the socket is correct they will work at full briteness only

No they are not dimmable it must be something they have installed. They are very nice though but make sure you check the bulbs carefully if you order them. One of mine had a small crack in one of the bulbs. I contacted the manufacture and they sent me a replacement right away. Hope that helps.

They are not dimmable but I bought a $10 high voltage outdoor dimmer and it works great with the bulbs

Yes, I have mine on a dimmer though. These look very very good. Makes my room look awesome. Best purchase I ever made.

They are very bright. In fact, I added a dimmer to tone them down when not working under the cabinets

I haven't tried dimming the ones I have. I looked up LED lamps to see if they are dimmable. It appears some are. I can't say for sure about this one. I love the ones I have. Very crisp white light, using minimum power. :)

Work just fine. However I have found only to check the dim was the only time I have dimmed. Look great and easy on the eyes. Hope this helps.

I do not have a dimmer on them but I have good knowledge of electrical items and these are filament light bulbs which do not have a problem being dimmed in my experience the problems start when you use cfl and other fluorescent lighting

They work with led, all my lights are dimmable LEDs. LEDs must be the dimmable type though.

As far as I can tell, they are not dimmable. I do not have a dimmable switch, but on the box it is not mentioned that they are dimmable.

Some do. Packaging is often misleading and I would not chance these are dimmable. The ones I have say "instant on and dimmable". Also they tend to rate differently, some 800 lumens will be equivalent to a 60 bulb. Hope that helps.

They are able to be dim down, but you will have to buy an external dimmer controller.
