led light change over

Hi all. thinking of putting leds in my tt, but don't know much about them. have flat blade bulbs in now but they are to bright, how do you go to a dimmer bulb with leds. my fixtures will only light up both bulbs at the same time. Need a dimmer bulb. I see no wattage on the leds.How can I switch over not knowing how bright they are? Am I missing something with the LEDs?

Thanks
  • Tape a piece of white paper over the lens of the light. Then it can be removed if you need more light later. DO NOT do this with incandesent bulbs and they get too hot and will scorch the paper or even set it on fire. Leds (usually) run a lot cooler, but do check. If they stay cool, then the paper is no problem.
