Do you have to turn the light dimmer all the way up first before you can set the amount of dimming or does it start out dim?

With a Click it start out with full brightness then gets dim. The product I got is different to the one shown. The knobs are smaller and the light and fan picture above the knobs are a bit different.Let me be a little more clear. I have not wired this to lights as yet because the ceiling fans with lights that I bought can not be operated with the fan controller. I based it on the picture above the knob which is the opposite as shown in the pic.

Move about a 5th of the way, before it comes on "DIM". Note that I am using the new LED Bulb rated at 60 watts. Bob

Yes definitely. We have ours on a dimmer, it does get bright when up all the way.

We just use typical incandescent chandelier size bulbs (they are about 3 inches long and the glass swirls around slightly. There really isn't a "dimming" feature, the touch light just lights up in steps (three) from not much light up to full watt strength. It's a toggle mechanism so if you are at the strongest level of light, the next touch turns the light off and you then start over at the bottom by touching the metal. [Apologies if this is way more info than you needed or if you already knew all this -- if it's not working properly, perhaps you just got a defective light.]

Yes it dims from full high or full low, you can ajust the light with the remote or the panel .You must use dimmable LEDs with this unit it works great.

Yes it does have a dimmer on the switch. You hold the button in, it will gradually dim the light until it reaches minimum brightness. If you release and hold it again, it will increase brightness until it is released or it reaches maximum brightness. A quick tap will turn it off or on.

When I turn mine off at the lowest brightness setting then turn it on later it comes on at the lowest setting again. Also you don't need to turn it off and on to change the setting, all you need to do is press the switch very lightly to go thru all brightness's strobe and SOS.

This light is like any other. Hook it to 12 VDC and it will light up. There are 2 circuits in the light and depending on which one you connect to will make it brighter or dimmer. Just make sure you have the width and that it won't be in an area where it may be impacted. There are only 2 small dog ears with screws that hold it on.

You can only control the brightness by leaving a bulb (or bulbs) out (it takes 3 bulbs), or changing the wattage of the bulbs you are using. There is no "dimmer" switch, just on or off.

Sure is! The different modes are activated based on the angle you're holding it at when it's turned on. Straight up turns on the auto dimming feature.

No. This is a relay switched output so it will not dim lights. On/Off only.

Just tap the base ( silver part) once, twice or three times for the different settings. The first tap is the dimmest, third tap is the brightest.

I installed this using a LED lightbulb. It does dim but when you press the dimmer switch to turn off, it doesn't turn off completely. These same light bulbs are advertised as dimmable and work well with other dimmers (some specifically for LED light bulbs). However, this dimmer seems not to be completely compatible.

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

The lights actually work well with the dimmer. They will dim and brighten though the entire spectrum. But, when on the dimmest setting the lights will "creep" back up to about half brightness and then stop. I had blamed it on the dimmer switch that I got from HD. But it may be the lights themselves. That issue may be a problem inherent to LED lights (at least the current generation of them). I have not seen any other reviewers with this issue so it may just be the dimmer (or the installer) LOL. Even so, I'm thinking the pros out weigh the cons (economical, long lasting , bright and easy of install (I really like handy little spring clips that secure it to the ceiling =) ). Hope this helps.

I have not noticed it getting any dimmer, but with time is very vague. We've had one for 6 months and it hasn't gotten dimmer. It takes batteries, so maybe if it gets dimmer you change the battery. We loved it so much we bought another one for another bathroom. This takes away from the blinding middle of the night turning on the light.

You can brighten or dim the light. If you dim it all the way it appears as if it is off.

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.
