My halogen lights under the ceiling cabinets were dim-able and the replacement G4 12 LED 5050 dim also. I did try some G4 15 LED 5630's chips and while they were a little brighter than the 12/5050's they got hot (200+ degrees). Under these cabinets I could use some G4 15 LEDs 5050 as it's harder to notice that they are too big to center in the puck light... in the ceiling it was very noticeable.
While on LEDs... you need to buy some of the little cree flashlights. Amazing how much light and how long the batteries last. I like the ones that us three AAA batteries to put in vehicles where they do not get used much. For $5.49 without the batteries you really need to try some. If you use one a lot then the rechargeable ones which includes the battery and charger are probably a better choice for $5.90.
Last Christmas Home D had two for $10 including the six batteries, BUT they did not focus. They also had headlamps for the same deal... should have them again in December and the price should be even lower.
