Dimmable Led Lighting

Dimmable lights: what do you need to know?

A dimmer is a switch that regulates the current or voltage that is travelling to your lamp with the result that you can control the light intensity/brightness of a lamp.  For example if you want full brightness for work purposes or a more dimmed and atmospheric romantic lighting when having dinner. GGJIA's dimmers support voltage regulation from 0 to 10V.

FAQs About Dimmable Lights

Q: Can any light fixture become dimmable?

In short: no.  While a dimmer CAN be installed in place of ANY standard switch on your wall right now, for the dimmer to actually, well, dim, the bulb it controls also has to be dimmable.  Like with so many things, a bulb or lamp's brightness is dictated by power. The function can be achieved by adjusting the voltage of the dimmer.

Q: What is a dimmable light?

What Are Dimmable Light Bulbs? Dimmable bulbs are specifically manufactured for dimmable fittings (i.e. when you have a dimmer switch on the wall). They're popular due to their aesthetic and energy-saving potential: the ability to lower the lighting can completely change a room's ambience while using less energy.

Q: What is the difference between dimmable and non-dimmable lights?

Both types of LED light have their pros and cons, so it's important to decide which is right for you before you make a purchase. Dimmable LED lights are perfect for people who want more control over their lighting, while non-dimmable LED lights are better for people who want a more consistent lighting experience.

Q: Can normal lights be dimmable?

Most light fixture will work with standard dimmer switches including those with halogen and incandescent lamps, if you install line-voltage track and rail lights with incandescent bulbs, you can use dimmer switches to control their brightness.  Just be sure to use a line-voltage dimmer as well.

Q: How to tell if a fixture is dimmable?

• Check the Bulb Type:
  • Ensure the bulbs installed are labeled as dimmable. Incandescent and halogen bulbs almost always are, but for LED and fluorescent bulbs, it’s important to verify the packaging.
• Examine the Fixture Specifications:
  • Some fixtures, particularly those with integrated LEDs, will specifically state whether they are dimmable. If this information is not readily available, consult the manufacturer’s guide or specifications.
• Choose the Right Dimmer Switch:
  • Even if a fixture or bulb is dimmable, you need a compatible dimmer switch to achieve smooth dimming. For LED fixtures, using an LED-compatible dimmer is crucial to avoid performance issues.

Q: Can you install a dimmable light on a regular switch?

YES, you can use a dimmable LED light bulb without a dimmer switch similar to standard light bulbs. GGJIA Dimmable Led Lights series comes with 0-10V adjustable features.

Q: Optimal LED light for work environments?

 A: The ideal LED light for work areas combines high brightness (8,000 to 20,000 lumens), a daylight to cool white color temperature (4000 to 6500 Kelvin), a high CRI (90+), and features that reduce glare and flickering.
