Will I be able to dim the lights to a light similar to the tungsten (3200K)?
I am interested in purchasing your FilmGrade™ WHITE LED Strip Lights PN 3001.32, but have a couple of questions regarding them and your dimmer. Your website indicates that they are available in both tungsten (3200K) and daylight (5600K or 6500K). If I also purchase the FilmGrade™ Flicker-Free LED Dimmer PN 3081, will I be able to dim the lights to a light similar to the tungsten (3200K)? Also, we may be moving soon, are the strips easily removed so that we could take them with us?
When the output is adjusted using a dimmer, the lumen output changes while the color temperature does not.
While traditional incandescent bulbs emit warmer color temperatures while dimmed, LED lighting technology allows for a consistent color temperature regardless of the adjusted dimming level of the output. As such, whether the 3200K product is at 20% dimming or 80% dimming, the color of the output will not change significantly.
We can confirm that the adhesive backing can be removed, though we generally recommend placing them within our aluminum channels for easier future adjustment. 3M sells adhesive remover and replacement tape at hardware stores, as well.
