LED room lights

Put a dimmer on them, they claim to be dimmable.

Sounds like they might be "Daylight" instead of "Warm White."

I have daylite bulbs that I can dim.  I like them.

I like the 3000k LED lights. They are brighter over the yellow incandescent lights and use a third of the watts.  They are not as bright as the 5000k lights. Try them.

I built the room with LED's as a main lighting source.  I never took into consideration how they might highlight boo boos when applied as an after thought.  Luckily you chose the type that is dimmable.   Hopefully for all of us, their claim of longevity comes true....payback for the initial cost.  Otherwise, the type I chose ( replacements for conventional pot lights ) give me the best light I can possibly imagine.  Perfect for detailed work using these old far sighted eyes.

I only buy the 3000K bulbs. I find the 2700K too yellow and the 5000K too white. By the way, I am using LED GU10 track lights and when I installed a scale speed sensor system to display scale speed of the moving trains, I found that I had to replace one of the LED track lights with an incandescent bulb. It seems the LED light was somewhat invisible to these particular light sensing diodes.

I used some LED spotlights when I remodeled the family room and went with warm white. The color is great. They are dimmable, but I noticed that they flicker from time to time. Anybody know what causes that or how to stop it?

I have a sea of spots in various rooms in my house, my solution was to leave one incandescent bulb in the controlled set to provide the resistive load that the dimmer requires.  It works fine that way, but if I use all LED's, they do indeed flicker.  I use the X10 remote controlled dimmers.
