DO these bulbs dim at all (using them in the instrument cluster)?

They do in mine, however the adjustability is not as good as in incandescent bulb would be, the range in light with an led is limited. But they "dimming" Is satisfactory in most cases. Hope this helps you out.

I cant speak for all dimmers but I have installed several of these with Insteon SwitchLinc dimmers and about 30ft of LED ribbon each. They dim up and down without issue.

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.

No, I haven't even noticed them. We have lower wattage bulbs that don't get too bright anyway- more of a softer light- so it hasn't been an issue.

Yes, but they did not work well in my old apartment's wiring. "Dim" was still rather bright and they buzzed louder than my incandescents. I returned mine. I blame my wiring, but other reviews on The Wirecutter and elsewhere said those two things weren't an issue.

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. :)

I am sure they will dim. they are just a regular incandescent bulb. you will likely not want them dimmed tho. They do work very well.

That was a problem I had with them, too. My solution at the time was to lengthen the harp on the light. I also used them in an overhead fan that had four bulbs. I had to loosen the globe and make the area roomier, if you will, in order to get it to work. I am not disappointed in them. They put out very little heat and are easily controllable with a dimmer. One thing that I did find out, if you try to use them in a light that has a three position switch, they will not work. It had to be a dimmable switch.

I am sorry, but I do not know. I installed LED lights and they dim those. However on a low setting, I do experience some flickering. You can call the help line at Lutron (it's on their web site) and they can answer the question. Good Luck.

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.

Not at all!! They were a bit bright for my bedside lamp and I actually have plastic yellow tail light (automotive type) lens repair tape wrapped entirely around both bulbs. Don't if it is recommended or not but it works great. Also, I work graveyard shift and leave the lamp lit all night long while at work. I can actually hold the bulb after several hours of illumination and they are only slightly warm but never too hot to hold. Should be no problem whatsoever.

I think when they are dimmed, yes. Try and return if they don't work for the application. They are MUCH warmer when dimmed than our other LED bulbs. Very pretty.

They will turn them on and off, but dimming is not really an option. You do have to read the instructions and set the "local on level" to full on/full off, otherwise they will flicker.

I use mine in outside fixtures on a timer. So, they aren't actually dimmed, but the non-dimmable one's I used first failed after not much use. The dimmable ones have been working great, but I don't really dim them. I haven't experienced a buzzing sound on either the non-dimmable or dimmable bulbs, sorry.

Hi, the lamps have an on/off switch in the cable running out of the base and into the wall plug. And they don't dim, only a single level of brightness but the black shade dims it good enough. Hope this helps!

I just bought six, hooked them up to a Lutron Maestro and all of them buzz when dimmed. If I turn them on all the way they do not buzz but then they are super bright.
