Do the lights have a "gradated" lighting feature? That is, can I dim the lights by turning a knob or something. Thanks!

There are two light switches on the back of each light each switch operates two bulbs. the only option you have is all off one on or both on

There is no dimmer. However, it comes with a honeycomb shade and a white defusing shade that you attach inside the umbrella. These are good lights however I would invest in some sandbags if you're going to be using them for portraiture. The light stands themselves are very lightweight

Each lamp has 4 bulbs that are controlled in groups of two with two toggle switches. One toggle controls two bulbs.

The set I bought does not - I change the lighting by switching off one half of a set (there are two switches that control two bulbs) or by moving the lights closer or farther away - you could also use softening or colored gels.

I did not see any such switch. But the mesh in the front of the light box is supposed to soften the light. The other way to soften the light is to use a flag (black cloth flattened along a wire, or black board) to block the light slightly to soften it. Or turn the light away so it's not directly on the object. This is sometimes done.

I believe itwas something they added. Mine do not dim. I tested different bulbs and found the 25 watt ceiling fan bulb to be best for light but not to bright.

Cannot answer dimable. They are about as bright as a 9 watt which they replaced. Very happy with them.

No, they do not come with dimmers, but you can get the dimmers at most hardware stores. It looks like an extension cord with a control on it. You plug the lights into that cord, then the cord into your electrical receptacle.

On my install, the lights will dim quite a bit, but not near off. The bulbs will dim only so much than stop dimming using the manual level button. Using the tap to dim to off button, the lights fade to about the same brightness as using the manual button and than the lights turn off completely.

Actually, they can be dimmed. In the positive line, use a 10 watt power resistor of about 12 to 15 ohms with a toggle switch bypassing the resistor for high power. This is the arrangement that I use.

That's a great question!! If there is a dimmer feature, I have yet to find it.

No they are not dim able and they are 7w they are for outdoor accent lighting. Low voltage I hope this answers your question. Thanks

I don't know if they are dimmable. The light was much brighter than I thought it would be, so I used it in a bedroom ceiling light.

We have two of these lamps and they don't dim..... the foot switch is just off and on. They are really nice lamps for the money - great value.

Yes the led lights do dim normally. They have been working great for 3 years now.

LED's can be dimmed, and these should be able to be dimmed... but in my application they are either full power or off.

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

I really don't know. I don't have any of them connected to a dimmer switch. I'm using them specifically for the bright light they produce. I wouldn't dim them myself.

Yes. That's what I had were fluorescent under cabinet lights and installed them in same location. Also, these led lights are dimmable so if you want to dim them, you will need a led dimmable switch. Howe we, you don't have to dim them.

They are dimable if you have a dimmer rated for a 1000 watts, but not by themselves. The accepted practice is to us wire scrimms that you put in front of the lens, but they don't sell them. My experiance with these lights is that the build quality is awful. I would suggest that you go to www.coollights.com and look at their tungsten products. They are more expensive, but build quality is great, and they are still reasonably priced.

These are not dimmable. Make sure the ones you buy say dimmable as a feature. If used with a dimming switch then they will flicker when turned on.
