LED Lighting

I picked up a set of 4 LED cans a while back,and they look great,but they are really too bright. Any way to dim them down without having to buy a dimmer pack?

Most LED fixtures have multiple DMX channels, mostly to control the mix of RGB but often have a dimmer control as well.

If they are pre packaged without much of any controller, then maybe use less cans?

Some LED's are not dimmable.

You could try dropping neutral density gel in front of it. ND2 will cut the transmission by 50%.
