OK folks let's start again. It doesn't matter to me what kind of bulb it uses, so long as I can dim the light up and down with an element of control. I've just tried an ordinary 60 watt (old-fashioned, non energy-saving) bulb in it and it works just fine. So would either of the following...

Oh whoops-you're right. This is why you should never copy things from the internet! (I did put the model number into Google, and that's what came up). OK this is what my bulb ACTUALLY says on it: 7W 315lm45lm/w Model no. ES0806G7 E27 NSW24053 220-240V-50/60Hz 60mA

OK I might be wrong about the E12-I saw that online in answer to a question about the same bulb. It definitely says E27 on the bulb, and no, there are no adapters. IKEA doesn't mention whether it's dimmable. It's not too expensive for me to give it a try-so which of the dimmers above would be best?

It's an IKEA Tertial lamp, coming without a bulb, and in the blurb they recommend 'LEDARE LED bulb E27 8.1W 400 Lumen'. The bulb I have in it at the moment is ES0806G7/E12 7W 120mA 290lm 2700K AC120V/60Hz 1033 which is a C7 with an E12 base and 7 watt, I am told. Would one of these...

Thanks Iggifer-so even though it has a much higher potential wattage, it wouldn't be in danger of blowing the light? And when you say it could replace the existing switch, does that necesssarily mean that you could only turn the light fully off by unplugging it?

I have an anglepoise type lamp, 110-240v 50-60 hz (max 60 w bulb). At the moment it has a halogen bulb but it should work with a regular 60w (screw-in type). It has a switch along the cable to the mains. What I want to do is add a dimmer switch to the cable so that I can fade the lamp up and...
