How is the color of the light? I hate the cool, greenish tint of LEDS...also, any issue with flickering when dimming? thanks

Good color. Same as a CFL with same temp rating. No problems with a modern dimmer rated for leds

I too was worried about greenish tint, but looked up the lums on a light color wheel. The color is actually very nice kinda soft white. Very natural. As far as dimming, they go from nothing to full without a flicker. Little tricky to install but worth it.

The color is great. No tint. It's white light. And when dimmed there is no issue of flickering. I am very pleased with this purchase.

They lights r great. Pure white and quick to full power. Installation was a snap right in the holes I cut. I cut off the wire connectors and hard wired these. I did not install a dimmer do I can't help u there.

These are very white light. I don't have them on a dimmer so can't say. I love them in my bathroom.

This is the best lighting I ever purchased. My husband is a Gen. Contractor. He installed them all through our house. It brighter than all other lighting we've had. I wish I could find a 3 or 3 in a half inch.

I have two and have not noticed any flickers. I use the on a dimmer and they are great.

Hello Light waves, With no spec for lumens or CRI on Amazon, I'm almost as much in the dark (NPI) as you. However, I've had one of these running in a decorative spotlight for a few months, so I can make some comments. The color of the light is much better than a CFL, but not as nice as incandescent or the legendary Philips L-Prize bulb. Comparing it with various Philips and Cree LED bulbs that I'm currently using, I'd say the CRI is probably around 80, certainly no better than that. That's just an eyeball estimate though, YMMV. Brightness is roughly equivalent to a 25-30w incandescent bulb. If you use it in a reflector spotlight (I'm using it in an old boat searchlight - the reason I needed a bulb with a BA15D base) it makes an odd but interesting pattern on the wall because of all those individual LEDs spread over a large area. It doesn't dim very well, even with a PWM dimmer specifically for LED lights. However, after my initial experiments, and given it's modest light output, I never attempt to dim it anymore. You probably already know this, but just in case, be aware that this bulb has a BA15D (both bayonet pins at the same height) base. This means you can put it in the socket backwards and it will not work (I've done this a few times, it didn't destroy the bulb). Many bayonet base LED bulbs on the market use the BAY15D base (pins at different heights), preventing it from being inserted backwards. I have found the descriptions - even on Amazon - to be wrong about the base type occasionally, so always look at the pictures carefully to be sure the base type is what you need.

I bought it for LED bulbs in the hall. In one fixture I had 60W brightness, in the other 40W. It dimmed both, but the one fixture dimmed all the way to out while the other one was still on a bit, but it worked fine for me. The LED light color did not change to more yellow that I could see as it dimmed. There was no buzzing or any issues.

I have not experienced a problem with the light flickering. The only suggestion I could offer is to check the wiring at the plug and wall outlet as well as the connection to the base of the light. If all else fails, I would suggest returning the light. Hope this helps

I have had mine for about two months, used it maybe seven or eight times. No issues yet. Seems to work fine but not as bright as I'd hoped. Plus I don't like the cold color temperature look of the LED's, but that's to be expected with white LED lighting.

Hmm, I found this while running a search for dimmer switches! I'm curious if anyone knows if there is a similar switch made that also has a dimmer option included? I wasn't looking for something like this initially but love the idea!!

I have only had the unit for a couple of months - no problem with dimming - only use it a few minutes a day, tho.

What kind of LED light bulbs are you using? Typically with my experience its usually the bulbs that cause the flickering. These evolve dimmers work very well on most DIMMABLE led bulbs. Try ecosmart bulbs from homedepot or any lighting science led bulbs made for dimmable capabilities. Best of luck!

Bright white color, but some flickering when dimming.. Not every time. I did notice it flicker once or twice now..

I'm not sure where you picked up on the "green tint" thing; I have never noticed any such from either of my units - their light is very true. As to the dimness, it's adjustable, but even at max I would say you'd need 2 strategically placed for proper illumination of no bigger than 16" x 20".

I haven't had any problems with this model; I have 6 of them connected in parallel in a very large area. It works fine, provides lots of light, is really nice and is dimmable. Perhaps the only "problem" is that after a certain low dimmer threshold point some of them would go off and sometimes on. Maybe this is the mentioned strobe effect .....?

Are they CFL light bulbs? I heard, but don't know for sure, that they may not be able to be dimmed. I'm probably all wet. My Lutron works GREAT and I love it. So sorry for your woes.

We haven't received the problem of flickers from this unit. It's the updated version of popular 312 LED Light. The included two batteries could last about 2 hours in full charged. It may be not enough as a key light. It's often used as fill light. We recommend a larger version if you need a key light. Hope the information is helpful for you. Your any question is welcome :)

I found there to be a bit of a green tint when I first turn it on, but it resolves after it warms up a bit. Not a big deal to me. Perhaps my green is your blue with a bit of yellow thrown in??

I disagree with Minite who says that it works "great" with a dimmable LED bulb. I'm using Philips LED bulbs, and it makes the bulbs buzz noticeably. Not badly enough that I will return it, and the packaging states quite clearly that it is not meant for CFLs or LEDs, but still a bit disappointing that a dimmer made in 2015 doesn't work well with LEDs.

I wouldn't worry about it. My LED has been red since day one. Haven't had a bit of trouble with it. Enjoy!
