How to dim a Sansi LED bulb

I have a 10W Sansi LED bulb for my grow, but I would like to be able to dim the light since, having limited space and needing to place it close to the plant, I'm having issues. (https://www.amazon.es/SANSI-Bombilla-Espectro-Completo-Invernadero/dp/B08P1RL7KC/ref=asc_df_B082PSBP68

Buenos días si tu bombilla no es dimeable de por si solo puedes usar un difusor Puedes usar materiales como plástico translúcido, papel pergamino, tela blanca o paneles diseñados específicamente como difusores de luz. Asegúrate de que el material sea resistente al calor y no presente riesgo de incendio pero dudo que la bombilla genere tanto calor. Puedes sujetarlo directamente a la lámpara utilizando clips o adhesivos si el diseño lo permite. También puedes suspenderlo unos centímetros por debajo de la bombilla usando un marco o soporte, asegurándote de que el difusor no toque la bombilla para evitar sobrecalentamiento. Al final puedes usar una app como Photone para medir si estás conforme con el resultado. Un saludo

Just toss that in the trash. Even when you grow 1 plant under 100w of light the plant doesn’t mature properly. You need a big boy light to grow any bud that’s worth smok

HI bud. Would be good to know what issue you are having. Simply saying you are having issues doesn't point anybody in the right direction. You already have the light, good. What other hardware do you have? Which dimmer or dim system are you trying to use? Hope this helps, even just a little.

I'm in agreement with Crusty. I can't see any reason why you would need to dim a light that small. Probably not the best choice of lighting honestly. You'd get better coverage and probably less heat just using a led shoplight- typicallyabout 100w. That won't work very well in flower though, but it would work out OK in veg.

Not all LED bulbs are dimable. Check the specs if it can be dimmed. Also some LED's require a special dimmer that works with low watts. vs high watts like older style bulbs. When i purchased a dimmer for my living room I had to pay extra to get one that will work with LED's

You'll never need to dim a 10w bulb, even plants outright touching the light won't mind. It'll be way too little light for anything but a few seedlings or clones.

Some Sansi bulbs are smart bulbs that can be dimmed using a smartphone app or voice control. If your Sansi bulb is dimmable, you'll need a dimmer switch compatible with LED bulbs. Your bulb is an e27 socket.
