dimmable lights

Variable brightness fixtures

Dimmable lights are light fixtures or bulbs whose brightness can be adjusted rather than simply switched on or off.

They require compatible bulbs and dimmer switches to function properly: We installed dimmable lights in the dining room for ambiance.

The term distinguishes them from standard lights that operate only at full brightness.
