WhiteDims are the perfect solution to dim/soften overhead indoor ceiling lights or outdoor lights without making the room to dark. If the lights are still too bright simply add another layer of White Dims. White Dims LightDims diffuse / soften harsh LED light and blend well with White Electronics.
How do I lower the brightness of my LED?
Use a dimmer Many light sources are only too bright in certain situations. To darken the lamp if necessary, the use of a dimmer is recommended. This way you can always adjust the brightness accordingly. LED dimmers are available for installation in place of the light switch and also as intermediate plugs.
Is it safe to cover LED lights?
Don’t cover LEDs with fabric. It can be tempting to toss a shirt or scarf over those bright lights to block them from view, but it’s not a great idea. Fabric tends to trap heat, which could cause your electronic item to overheat and even become a fire hazard.
How do you soften a light bulb?
Soften light subtly with diffusion paper. These light diffusing materials are quite affordable, but if you’re forced to improvise, try using wax paper instead. A similar effect can be achieved. Wax paper should only be used to diffuse LED lighting.
Why is LED light so harsh?
If you think your lights appear too harsh, blue, stark, or sterile, chances are high that the bulbs have too high of a color temperature. Typically, the bulb itself will be marked with a 4-digit number, followed with the letter “K” to indicate the color temperature value.
How do you dim LED lights without a dimmer?
You just simply replace your current bulb with the SceneChange bulb, then you can just toggle your existing light switch on the wall or on a lamp to change the light setting. You can simply adjust the light from cool white to warm white to a warm glow with different brightness.
Can I put sticky tape on LED lights?
You don’t need enough tape for the full length of your LED strip, just cut a little tape strip and place it every foot or so.
Can I put electrical tape on LED lights?
The airflow could be reduced : yes. Avoid obstructing any vents. This could lead to a more problematic overheating, not in terms of the tape getting hot, but in terms of eletrical components not being cooled enough.
How can I make my light softer?
To create a soft light, set up a light and bounce it off of a reflector or shoot it through a diffusion panel. If you don’t have lighting equipment, window light and natural light can serve as soft light sources, though be careful that the sun isn’t too harsh, shining directly onto your subject.
How do you diffuse LED ceiling lights?
There really are three main tricks to use to diffuse light of any source, including from LEDs: Place a semi-transparent barrier in front of the light. Place some thick opaque buffer over the light. Increase the distance the light has to travel.
How do you make LEDs less harsh?
Any light diffusing foil will do. Any sign supply shop will have a sanded glass effect or clear Matt foil. Stick on several layers until desired result. Directly sanding the plastic, should also diffuse some of the sharp light.
Do LED lights blink fast?
Is your LED bulb blinking too fast? No worries—it’s an easy fix! LED lighting draws much less power and lasts way longer than standard incandescent lighting that comes stock with most vehicles. Hyperflashing is when the turn signals blink faster than your stock incandescent bulbs did.
Why do LED lights start to flicker?
What makes LED lights flicker? Well… put simply, LEDs flicker when their light output fluctuates. This fluctuation happens because your dimmable light-emitting diodes are designed to switch on and cialis and grapefruit off at very high speed.
How do you soften LED Christmas lights?
If you’re specifically looking to convert your cool LED bulbs to warmer color temperatures, you need orange or red gels. These are often called CTOs (color temperature orange). Depending on the strength, orange gels can neutralize a cool LED or completely transform it into a warm white.
Can I put scotch tape over LED lights?
I would not use clear scotch tape. While the lights don’t get real hot, the heat will cause the glue to release. The sticky backing on the lights will lose it’s grip pretty soon causing a gap between the 2 sided tape and the light strip.

Does LED lights get hot?
Yes, new technology LED lighting can and will get hot, but when compared to the lighting of the past, temperatures are much safer. The heat from the lighting will also warm your surrounding environment but in comparison to old incandescent lighting, this ambient heat is greatly reduced when using LED lighting.
