is this bulb dimmable?

Just received some more and the label on the box says "P38 Dimmable Waterproof. PAR38 light Cool White". I've not personally used them in a socket with a dimmer to confirm that they dim with a conventional dimmer switch.

They are not made to be dimmable. They do dim but then burn out as a result of multiple dimming events.

i don't recall seeing anything on the package saying that is was dimmable. That would make me think it was not. Dimmable bulbs usually advertise themselves as such.

I'm not sure. It has the a dimension similar to a regular incandescent light bulb. I am at work and away from the bulb. When I get home, I will measure it and let you know at that time. I have not tried as dimmable myself, but they say it is such.

No these and most cfl bulbs are not dimmable. You want to look for 3-way cfl bulbs

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.

As far as I know all incandescents are dimmable, as long as you don't brighten them beyond their wattage.

It is dimmable but you must use a dimmer rated for halogen bulbs. If you use a standard dimmer for incandescent lighting you will get a buzzing from your lighting and the lights will flicker. Make sure not to exceed the maximum wattage or you will burn out the transformer.

the lamp i put mine in wasnt a dimming lamp so i dont know FOR SURE.....but LEDs are tough and long lasting and I'd be very surprised if this bulb couldnt dimm when put in a fixture controlled with a proper Dimmer switch

I don't think so... Usually dimmable CFL bulbs are clearly labeled as such, and cost significantly more.

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.

I think all fixtures are technically dimmable, as long as the bulb within is dimmable. This fixture takes standard bulbs.

it has a built in ballast. I would think it is dimmable (if you wire it with a dimmable switch) but i dont think i would. It does not put out much light anyway. It has very small halogen bulbs. This light fixture does look nice installed but it is a royal pain on the butt to put together. everything bolts together in that little chrome bulb with about 3 inch diameter clearance to work with

No, it is not dimmable. It radiates such beautiful light, you may not want to dim it anyway.

No, these bulbs are not dimmable. The bulbs should be labeled" Fully Dimmable Spiral CFL(2 Pack) 2700K"to be dimmable.

Yes, they are dimmable. The dimmer knob is just a variable resistor. It lowers the voltage "seen" by the bulbs, so less current flows through. Lower current means a dimmer light. The beauty of an analog device.

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

No, it cannot. I purchased this bulb because it didn't specifically say it wasn't dimmable - but they are not. Here's the one I bought instead - it works beautifully; and has a great, soft warm light - as good or better than the halogen it replaced. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008NNZTF2/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1
