LED lights are way too bright

I have a brand new 2017 Forest River Sunseeker 3170, the puck lights on the ceiling (all 19 of them) are way way too bright. Unfortunately on this rv, you cant just change the "light bulb" you actually have to replace the entire puck light unit. I want to replace them the LED Warm White and I have contacted the light manufacturer which is Command Lighting and they can only replace the unit with the same bright light that is already in them. I have also tried the film sheets that are used in theater for lighting for spotlights, but its still not right, its still very bright in the center. Any suggestions on where I could search for these?? I dont want to have that bright laboratory lighting, especially at night, its so horrible!!! HELP....Thanks

    is the OP still here?

    What does too bright mean, is there too much light, or is it too blue?

    Window tint, cut to fit inside the dome. Don't peel the backing off so it's not sticky. Easy to install, easy to remove. If one layer doesn't tone it down enough do two. Works well.

    We have the same complaint. Our 2015 Durango has 9 bright lights in the downstairs and it is way overkill and I hate them. Once dusk arrives, we turn them off and turn on the lamps. I guess since the inside design colors are so dark they think we need spotlights inside. Bad design features all around. (I added a rug, colorful pillows and curtains to brighten it)

    I feel your pain but only with the one light above our bed in our trailer. While the rest of them are the same lights they do not bother us like the very last one you turn off at night.

    I have not tried it yet but I was considering experiamenting with different shades of window tint on the lenses. Figured I could get descent scraps at a tint shop.
