<p>A lamp dimmer comes in many forms. The most basic explanation is that there is a slider or a knob attached to a power cord, that adjusts the voltage going to your lamp. Your lamp plugs into the dimmer, and the dimmer plugs into the wall.</p>

<p>The Lutron Credenza is a popular choice for US market lamps.</p>

<p>The best reason to use a dimmer with a lava lamp is to control the heat from the bulb.
