dimmable lamp

Brightness-variable light fixture

A dimmable lamp is a light fixture whose brightness can be adjusted rather than simply turned on or off.

The lamp requires either a built-in dimming mechanism or compatibility with an external dimmer switch.

Most modern dimmable lamps use LED bulbs designed to work across a range of light levels: I installed a dimmable lamp on my nightstand for reading.
