Can It be used as a normal lamp that STAYS on or off and can be dimmed/brightened if wanted?

Yes it can, but I ended up returning the product THREE times due to malfunction. Would not recommend this product.

Yes it can. Use it while I'm reading in bed. I set the timer even so it dims and turns off to tell me it's bedtime.

Hi Maureen, to my recollection -- yes it can be used as a normal lamp. And, I believe it can be used as a lamp in different levels of brightness.

Yes, it can. You just press down on the top to turn it on or off. It can be dimmed. I think it will remember the last brightness setting used.

Yes, you can manually turn it on and off. You actually press down on the top of the lamp with your hand and you will feel it move to click on and off.

Yes. And there is a dimmer on/off switch on the pole. We love this lamp. Good price!

No. You can dim it but when you turn it off and back on it comes back to full brightness.

You might have to cut it or wrap around sides. Depending on room it might put out too much light. You could always put a dimmer switch on it.

yes it will work as a dimmer, and yes you also have to have a bulb that CAN be dimmed, such as an incandescent bulb, or a flourescent bulb that is rated for dimming. Most flourescent bulbs are not rated for dimming.

Yes you can dim the brightness of the lamp, this is one of my favorite features!

I just went and checked and it is not dimmable (or at least mine's not!). LOVE this lamp, tho, aesthetically.

Yes. The lamp shade does not have to be used. An interesting or different light bulb should work well.

Its more of a directional lamp. The room wouldnt be dark but I doubt it would be the effect your looking for. I use it over the couch similar to task lighting.

It comes on/off automatically. The lamp is a 4-LED device; hence, the illumination is very dim. It is convenient however in that you can install it anywhere where you can clip it on.

I can't see why you couldn't. The lamp has a standard plug. I leave mine lit all night.

Hello! The bulb is actually integrated into the glass, so it's not able to be switched out. However, we've actually had customers complain that the light is too bright, so brightness shouldn't be an issue. ; ) If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know!

The light stays on but I believe you can dim it! It's not really that bright. It's dimmer than a 7 watt night light!

I would not do that, but a licensed electrician would be abke to verify that. Most flourescent bulbs will NOT dim. It is the way they are built!

Yes it can just hold the light button down and if dimmed already will make brighter. If bright will dim. I'm using regular bulbs with remote as well, no LED's.

This lamp has an adjustable switch so you can make the lighting very dim to very bright. As for oil, the light does not get hot enough to cause any damage if the oil were to evaporate.

Yes & No ... I just moved mine to a switch and it will turn the light off , if already on, but you must touch it to turn it back on. I would not recommend it if you are looking for a lamp that will switch on and off without having to hunt for it in the dark and touch it. It always has to be within an arm's reach.
