How is the color with these lights? I hate the cool, greenish hue of most LEDS...also wondering if there is any flickering when dimming? Thanks

I've had absolutely no problems with the light quality. Very happy with this product!

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

The color is still in the soft catagory ( not that industrial white) as for dimming works great with the proper dimmers

Mine work with any type of dimmer. No humming. I see that others have written reviews were they complain about buzzing. I haven't used one on a lamp next to a reading chair where I might notice a hum. I have them in ceiling cans with a dimmer switch. Never noticed a hum or any black spots on the bulb. I'm an mechanical engineer. Sorry, but LED bulbs don't hum when the voltage is reduced.

I put an LED bulb in it, I did not have the flicker that dhunter91505 mentioned. I've looked for one that was chrome-dipped but couldn't find one.

I've had mine for a year in a kitchen fan/light. No noise. But, LED's seem to be sensitive. They flicker with a power drop/surge. This is with all my LED's.

The min/max wattage comment (by Scott) is spot on. My fixture had 3 dimmable LEDs and I had flickering. I swapped out one LED bulb for an incandescent to get above the min wattage. All flickering is gone. dimming works as expected.

I am thinking about buying these lights, but I want to know if yours have lasted? Thanks for your time :)

They appear to be alright with a spot but I am only using them with bright LED spots. Sorry. I don't mind testing it out though.

They don't flicker like office lighting but they have a slight flicker. It's so slight that you almost can't detect it. If you can afford it buy the new LED options that are available instead.

Make sure you are using a high-quality dimmer and one preferably tested and marketed to use with LED lighting. I have been able to dim my bulbs to about 50 percent. Below that, the light flickers or goes completely dark.

In my opinion they are as white as u can get without having a yellow or blueish or purple tint, they the only temperature I run cuz I HATE lights with that aren't as close to white as possible, as far as the housing if ur asking about the clear plastic housing? Yes that screws off and the bulb itself looks physically just like a regular vehicle light bulb

These are a little bluish, maybe around what you're looking for. I'd guess that they're a little higher than 7000K. Felix is correct that these are very bright when run at ~13.5 to 14.0V, I run mine at 13.8V. Lahiru is dong something wrong. FYI, if your strip is longer than, maybe, 10' I'd run the supply wires to both ends. If I ran the full 30' strip I'd run the supply to both ends and the middle. Why? Because there will be enough of a voltage drop along the copper traces on the strip that the LED's on the end will be noticeably dimmer if you only connect to one end.

These bulbs are not designed to be dimmed. They have a constant current switching power supply on the backside (coil inductors are a dead giveaway) and they are designed to give constant light output with voltages from about 9 volts to 30 volts. They do happen to dim when the voltage goes below 8 or 9 volts because the switching circuit is running at "full throttle" with its maximum duty cycle trying to keep the current constant, but like a Yugo climbing a hill, it's trying but it just can't keep up the speed. The dimming is not going to be very linear and there may be significant differences in brightness from one bulb to the next when "dimmed". These bulbs are not designed to be dimmed.

These are great and silent with or without a dimmer. Agreed buzzing bulbs SUCK! Only drawback is that you can now buy 100LPW LED bulbs, where these are 60 LPW.

Work just fine. However I have found only to check the dim was the only time I have dimmed. Look great and easy on the eyes. Hope this helps.

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.

I had the same problem. I wasn't able to dim the bulbs, unfortunately I waited over 30 days to try them out so I was not able to return them. I am not an expert or electrician, but I think it has to do with the type of dimmer I'm using - apparently some dimmers don't work with LED lights. I think the problem intensifies if you use them like I intended to use mine, which was on a track light system that has a combination of halogen lights and LED lights.

No flickering. But if run for extended times it will damage internal wiring. Not if , when.
