dimmable bulb

Variable brightness lamp

A dimmable bulb is a light bulb designed to work with a dimmer switch, allowing you to adjust its brightness rather than just turning it on or off.

Not all bulbs are dimmable—using a non-dimmable bulb with a dimmer can cause flickering or damage.

Make sure you get dimmable bulbs for the dining room fixture.
