Dim

If you want to be able to adjust the brightness of a lamp or have more or less light, it is suitable for this that can be dimmed. This means that the brightness of the lamp can be reduced or controlled and thus adapted to the lighting mood, because a dimmed light radiates more cosiness than a very light light, which, on the other hand, is more suitable for working.

There are various ways to dim such a lamp. You can either do this due to adjustments for different space uses, then it calls yourself comfort dimmings, or you dance to save energy, which in turn is called energy. The latter is used primarily for daylight -dependent regulations in large office space or industrial halls. Dimmable lamps are therefore suitable for saving energy, since the basic principle of a dimmer works in such a way that it regulates the power supply specifically for the desired brightness.

Furthermore, lights can be gradually dimmed or the brightness can be changed in preset steps. The former means a completely individual brightness reduction and is possible, for example, via a rotary switch in the wall. With dimmings with steps you don't have as much scope, but it is usually sufficient. For example, there are three or four different brightness levels, between which you can choose with a suitable light switch or touchdimmer.

Depending on the lamp art, a suitable dimmer is required, which can usually be bought directly. With some lights, as is often the case with standing and table lights, such a dimmer is already integrated and it can then easily be dimmed without much effort.
