Yeah, those look good. I looked at them before when you suggested them but I couldn't get them through home depot online or locally. I looked on amazon and they were more expensive, I think around...

Yesterday I removed the lights and returned them. I ran out of time with their 90 day return policy. I'll be looking for another light now. I loved the lights, the color and efficiency, but the...

Well, I got the dimmer switch last night. No time to put it in. I'll do that tonight and report back.

Has nobody else had issues with LEDs buzzing?

Well, I got home last night and tried the ground wire and it made absolutely no difference at all. So, later in the night I went to return my 2700k bulbs and picked up an "led dimmer". It wasn't on...

Hmm, upon thinking a little more, I did notice on my dimmer switch that the ground wire wasn't hooked up. I'm not sure why, but I wonder if connecting that would help?

I plugged one of the bulbs into a lamp base that wasn't on a dimmer circuit. It buzzed only a tiny bit. It was so quiet that I had to hold my ear up to the bulb to hear it. This is quite...

I would imagine it doesn't dissipate the extra power. However some is certainly lost in the dimmer switch. I know this because when I had the incandescent bulbs in, the dimmer switch body would get...

I ended up going with something very similar. The local Menards carries Sylvania brand and I've been happy with their products in the past. The only other LED that I've bought is from them and I...
