Most of our fixtures (without built-in light sources) are dimmable, meaning that whether you can dim the lighting or not depends on the light source you choose. Therefore, select a dimmable light source to adjust the brightness of your lamp.
Please note that a light source with a 3-step dimmer cannot be controlled by a standard wall dimmer.

If the light source is visible, we recommend using a decorative light source so it becomes part of your new lamp. Do you want to be able to vary the brightness? See our light sources with 3-step dimmer, dimmable with a switch! See all light sources here.
Don't forget to check which socket your lamp requires.

When choosing an LED bulb to replace a traditional incandescent bulb, it's important to focus on the light output, measured in lumens (lm), rather than the wattage (W). This is because wattage indicates how much energy a bulb consumes, while lumens measure the amount of light it emits. LED bulbs are much more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs, meaning they can produce the same light output (number of lumens) with lower energy consumption (wattage).
For example, if you want to replace a 60W incandescent bulb, you should look for an LED bulb that provides around 700-800 lumens.
Incandescent bulb wattage (W) to light output (Lumen)
- 15W — 120-135 lm
- 25W — 220-250 lm
- 40W — 410-470 lm
- 60W — 700-800 lm
- 75W — 920-1050 lm
- 100W — 1200-1500 lm

However, it is important to adjust the height according to the size of the room, ceiling height, and the intended use of the lighting. Learn more about the placement of ceiling lights here.
