Is this bulb dimmable? Or Is anyone using these as dimmable and how are they?

mine are in an outdoor low voltage lighting system which is not capable of being dimmed.

I have mine in the bedroom of my apartment on a dimming switch and they seem to work just fine with the dimmer. I also have them upstairs on a non-dimming switch and they work equally as well.

I've discarded the packaging but I believe these are not dimmable CFLs...very few are and when they do offer this feature, they tend to make a big deal about the feature and cost a lot more. Sorry I can't help any better.

it's just a standard hard-wired light fixture like you would put in yout kitchen or dining room, so as long as you use standard old ligthbulbs or non-fluorescent new type ones that actualy say "dimmable" on the package then i would think so, yes...but these are made for outisde lighting, so usually dimming is not necessary....basically it's the bulb you use not the fixture that determines the dimmability.

I have used led bulbs in fixtures with dimmers and did change anything with the hardware. I DID HOWEVER make sure that the bulbs were listed as dimmable before i installed them and i have had no problems at all.

Not dimmable. You can put a smaller watt bulb in so that it's not as bright, however.

No, it is not dimmable. Maybe they meant the silver-like color of the lamp...I use it since months: works well.

The bulbs are incandescent so I would think they are dimmable. They are essentially night lihts. We installed four of these as step lights on our stairway and they work great in that application. Since they are only 7watts you may not need to dim them.

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.

Yes, these are dimmable. You have to use a wall switch with built in dimmer.

I have not had any issues with the dimmer switches. The lights work as they should on any setting. They will turn on at the lowest setting. So far I have purchase around 20 of these bulbs to replace the old style lights.

I have not had an opprotunity to try dimmable led bulbs. Let me know if the brightness is sufficient and if out works with the remote. Fran

The bulb itself is dimmable, you just need to make sure that the ballast you're using is dimmable as well.

No - these are non-dimmable. There is another, though - the Maxxima LED A19 Light Bulb 8 Watt Warm White which is dimmable and works great.

The on off portion should work. But I'm not sure about the dimming feature with that bulb. Sorry. Not 100%

I believe that they are. While I do not have this specific bulb running of a dimmer switch, they're the same wattage and type as those installed in a couple of our ceiling fans (with dimmer capability). The only difference is that these are slightly longer than those in the fans.

They dim pretty well, but not flawlessly. I have these bulbs all over the place on dimmers and most of them will dim down very low, but I have one or two out of the 18 that I have that just go off at a very low level.
