Are these "Full Spectrum 85W Photo CFL 6500K, Daylight balanced, Pure White" bulbs DIMMABLE? Thank you.

I don't think they are. Actually, I highly doubt it. I've used them in regular light fixtures and have been very pleased with them. Their output is high, although I haven't measured it in lumens. Color balanced seems spot on, compared to natural daylight. I put them in a softbox and they work quite well. Regards, Steve

There is no information about being dimmable on their site, so I don't think so, Deborah. There are CFLs designed to be dimmable, but these seem like they aren't.

Mine are pure, clean and bright white with no trace of blue...but I would not call the light 'warm.'

Yes, Mine is on a dimmer switch and is working fine. I use regular light bulbs, not the cfls.

Yes. I had CFLs in until I received the LEDs I ordered, and they seemed to work just fine. Perhaps a little dim, but that may have been the bulb, since the LEDs are bright.

Not dimmable as far as I know. I haven't tried using dimmers on them. My guess would be that they don't work like that. I'm sure you an find LEDs that do however. Good luck.

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.

Beats me, but they're not much brighter than the 40W-equivalent version. They are some of the nicest LED bulbs I've used though. I use a cool white one in the fridge -- it is instant-on, like an incandescent, unlike other LED bulbs I've tried in there.Note about dimming: They don't dim at the same pace as incandescents in the same fixture. In fact, they don't seem to dim at all.

No they are not dim able and they are 7w they are for outdoor accent lighting. Low voltage I hope this answers your question. Thanks

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

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.

As far as I can tell, they are not dimmable. I do not have a dimmable switch, but on the box it is not mentioned that they are dimmable.

Hello back to you, I don't know the tech stuff about these bulbs, but they are bright. Nice white light and bright. They'll like night and day difference.

They are pretty low. They are not as bright as the halogen bulbs that they replaced. Don't have a way to test but I would say they are about 60% of a halogen bulb. I'm using them for landscape path lighting, the LEDs are adequate for that purpose.

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.

I have no idea!! Sorry, The package say that they are dimmable, but I have only used them with on/off switches in my home and for that they work fine. I have about 45 fixtures using these bulbs with no complaints, they are not as bright as the 50w halogens, but close enough!

Yes they are dimmable. However, there don't compare to the Sylvania ones I bought through Amazon. The amount and quality of the light is much worse.
