How does it dim in temrs of color? Most LED bulbs dim to a cold bluish white, do these do that or do they dim to a warm yellow like incandescents?

Its more of a yellow or even a tad orangish light. It definitely doesn't dim bluish. I've LED lights in the bath that go that way.

wish I could be more helpful, but I don't dim the light in the traditional sense. I use dimmer X-10 modules to turn some lights fully on and off. What has happened over that year or so is that the light began to flash when not in use. My experience with other LED lights tells me that the loading circuit within the lamp has failed (an artificial small load to simulate standard bulbs to controllers). To not go crazy I put the lamp on a relay switched X-10 module.As far as color in full on performance, without an instrument, no one would see a color shift.hope that hellps.

Not 100% on the LED light, as i have a normal bulb in mine, however, in my last house i believe i had the same switch and it did work. I believe it depends on teh bulb and not the controller, some LED cannot be dimmed. The switch itself, if you just press the button quickly, the light turns on and off instantly. If you press and hold the button, then the light dims.

It says on each light if it is dim-able on the light and it says that the Great Eagle LED BR30 is in fact dim-able but i have found that like most LEDs it does not dim as well with the conventional dimmer as incandescent. I have found that even dim-able LED work much better with new LED Dimmer switches

The previous responder didn't really answer your question. I, too, am concerned with color temperature, but have been unable to find out what it is for this bulb. However, LEDs typically have CRIs in the 65-85 range. Because the color temp of this bulb is 2700, my guess is that it would be at the upper end of that range. . . about 80. To get closer to the color temp of an incandescent, you'd have to find an LED with a 2500 or lower temp. Good luck; I've encountered only ONE with that temp (at Lowe's) and it wasn't the wattage I wanted.

They are "warm" which is a misnomer because 3000 Kelvin isn't a yellow "warm" light but a more white light... Not quite flourescent.. but definitely not warm. All the LED bulbs use this warm/soft terminology which is very poor and misleading. "Soft" is 2700 kelvin which is warmer (although still not as warm as incandescent.)

The min/max wattage comment (by Scott) is spot on. My fixture had 3 dimmable LEDs and I had flickering. I swapped out one LED bulb for an incandescent to get above the min wattage. All flickering is gone. dimming works as expected.

With my LED set up which is 9 FEIT candelabra style 4w LED's, the bulbs flicker at lower dimming. Basically, they would flicker except at high or maximum. The LED's were rated for dimming.

Some LEDs are not dim-able. Some can be affected by heat such as might build up in a recessed location. Other than that I have no idea. OK, just checked the spec on the switch and this statement is there: "Compatible With 120V, 600 Watt Incandescent Fixture & Load Only (DOES NOT WORK LED LOAD / FIXTURE)". I think this may be your problem.

LED bulbs run on DC and come equipped with an AC converter. I don't think the converter would stand up too well on a dimmer, but if you can find LED bulbs that specifically say "dimmable", then go for it. The par 20's (LED) that I use in my kitchen specifically say "dimmable".

Very cold. I wish they made a 3,000K. They make an amber, however it is a yellow-orange color and not a warm white alternative. Bulbbrite are you listening?? The day they make a warm white 1W LED, is the day I place them in every socket where a only gentle light is needed. Hope this helps.

I have only once tried to dim them using a Lutron dimmer that successfully dimmed six 50w halogen bulbs in a single fixture. This particular dimmer did not work with these LED bulbs. Perhaps another dimmer might but I don't have an installation to test them.

It depends on the LED, but I have four of them installed and all are dimming Cree LED bulbs fine.

They are very dim. The light only projects up. I would guess each one in about 10-15 wat incandescent. I have bought a lot of led and these go into stock until I figure where to use them.

They dim pretty well, but not flawlessly. I have these bulbs all over the place on dimmers and most of them will dim down very low, but I have one or two out of the 18 that I have that just go off at a very low level.

I think when they are dimmed, yes. Try and return if they don't work for the application. They are MUCH warmer when dimmed than our other LED bulbs. Very pretty.

I actually also bought a dimming socket and use the Cree LED light 60w that dims. works great for that.

You are asking about colour temperature, which most people do not understand. You might get a better response asking whether they are warm yellow or colder blue in tone. Its my understanding they are incandescent (vs LED) and are warm. Hope this is helpful.
