Dimmable LED MR16 Light Bulbs

Dimmable LED bulbs are bulbs that can limit their light output. This is done in two different ways, one is in which the current that powers the bulb is increased and decreased according to the level of light needed. The other is using something called pulse width modulation which essentially runs on an off-on cycle. This cycle happens in milliseconds, so is not noticeable to the human eye. In this situation if the dimmer is set to 20% then 20% off the light would be on while the other 80% is off, creating a dimming effect. Dimmable bulbs are perfect for people who want to create different atmospheres at different times while in the same room and using the same lights. It is often used in living rooms so the lights can be dimmed when watching a film but can also be brightened if eating a meal. 
 

While not all MR16 bulbs are dimmable, we have an extensive range that are. Within this range you have a choice of wattages, beam angles and colour temperatures, with all of these bulbs being dimmable. A dimmable cool white MR16 is perfect for the kitchens or bathrooms to create a crisp, functional space, whereas a dimmable warm white MR16 is suitable for bedrooms, and living rooms.

While you wont be able to tell if your light bulb is dimmable just by looking at it, if you have the packaging then it will say if it is dimmable or not. At BLT Direct we ensure that all of our light bulbs have a clear specification to make sure you know what bulb your buying. All of our light bulbs will be classified as dimmable or non-dimmable so you can pick up the one that's right for your lighting scheme.
