REDUCE LED BRIGHTNESS WITHOUT A DIMMER!!

After purchasing a bunch of Ultra-slim LED lights, only to realize they are insanely bright, I started to experiment on how to reduce the brightness without having to buy 10 dimmers and spend more time and money installing them. I came up with three pretty simple solutions to reduce the glare and keep things cozy in the house (instead of feeling like a 747 is about to land in my living room)...

Thank you for this! If so many people are having this exact problem, why aren't the manufacturers doing something about

I used parchment paper for large LED lights in my garage - saved me $50 in dimming film. Works great. Thanks!

Three layers of parchment paper worked great for a too bright LED half globe hall light. Thought I'd have to replace, but saw your video and gave it a try. Lined the globe with the layers of paper, formed it to the globe, cut it and cut a hole for the mount. Worked great!!!! Thank you!

I am an electrician but never installed LED downlights. This video was good but to stick the "baby don't cry" on the outside of my downlights looked bad. My back plate on a 4" round was obstructed from coming off so after 3 tries at different installs I just did like you said and took out the screws on the back plate, then from the finished side I pushed the lens up away from the trim and installed the "baby don't cry" sheet WITHOUT removing the backing that covers the sticky stuff. Just push it up a bit and gently install the round cut-out sheet backing and all. Looks great. Thanks

"You can be seen from space"🤣🤣... I laughed so hard.. I had that exact problem, that's why I came for this video

I used parchment paper and it worked! I also did put an extra Graphite coating with the help of a pencil and that made it dimmer easily.

Brother, thank you so much for the ideas. Was going bananas trying to figure out a way to get my new LED recessed lights to dim further. They were waaaay too bright even at the lowest setting on the dimmer switch. The parchment paper trick worked perfectly!! Depending on the amount of parchment paper sheets you use or the "tint" they happen to be, you can fine tune the lights to near perfect. Thanks again for the video. It brilliant! 🍺

Thank you for such a thorough tutorial and comparison! Very much appreciate your time and detail.

I don't like overbright LEDs either, I will definitely try these tips.

The parchment paper worked great for me! I had unbleached parchment paper on hand for baking and I really liked how the slight brownish color gave my under-cabinet lighting a soft warm glow. Thanks so much for tip! I thought I was going to need to install a dimmer.

your voice is very comforting, great content btw. i'm gonna try this out !

[lastcommodore]

one of the best videos I've seen on this topic

I'm PMSing and I like this video. Dunno how I got here. But good job 😭. Baby no cry.

[rajeevgopwani]

You have a nice calm voice. Subscribed! Thanks for the ideas

[krisdecke]

Thanks will try on my office lights. Appreciate the video.

Great job! I have square lamps for LED exterior lighting installed and the ones closest to the house are way too glare oriented. I'm going to try the baby light dims on the closer to the front door so you don't walk out feeling you're getting blasted. Great job!

[billscott]

Great video, I needed this fix on sme newly installed leds. Baby don't cry no more! 🍻

[MuttonChops]

for a cleaner install on the baby dont cry paper, you couldve taken the light apart and cut it to fit just like you did the rest.

[puneetmaheshwari]

that "baby no cry" cracked me everytime lmao and thanks
7:35 NOOO😭😭 ur voice is nice

[harishveeramani]
