I have a few different LED bulbs with the remote to select colors and dimming, and none of the ones I have go nearly as dim as I'd like. Since they're so cool (as in temperature, not as in Joe Cool), I'll probably cap them with a lens from an old pair of sunglasses or something.

The LED strip lights I use, however, dim SO well. Very smoothly, the light stays very warm in tone, and more dim than I would have guessed they'd go (though still not as dim as I'd like). To diffuse the light and get them down to the dimness of my deepest desires, I have them behind a sheet of cream-colored card stock.

I've also purchased single LED lights on a lead, they're pretty easy to work with. I use a single cool white LED to create a faux moon.

The quality and variety of LED lights is changing so fast these days, I'm not investing in much more until things settle out a bit. I haven't found anything that I feel is quite right for replacing my halogen spot lights, for instance. I have a feeling the right product is coming just around the bend, though.
