LED bathroom light brightness
I’m new to LED’s in our FW. Can I get a replacement to lower brightness in the overhead motion control light in bathroom? Old school was just replace the bulb, not sure on our 2016 27RL.

Edit: re-read your question and now realize you meant the ceiling fixture over the toilet or wherever yours is located. Nonetheless, these dimmers are a "cool" alternative for the wall switches...
Instead of replacing LED bulb(s), consider instead replacing the standard rocker switch with one of these which feature a vertical slide dimmer. I installed (3) a few weeks ago (over dinette, over sofa and bedroom ceiling lamps) and I'm very pleased with results. Installing requires minor shaving of the existing cutout to fit the slightly larger than OEM switch. BTW on that, turns out this dimmer switch is produced by the same USA manufacturer of those OEM switches, i.e., ATI or American Technology Components. This style of dimmers use a 3-wire hookup whereas the standard non-dimmer switch uses 2-wires, however the 3rd (ground) wire was behind each of the existing switches I replaced. For simplicity, I used minimally invasive Posi-Tap connectors which just just prick the insulation to the wire conductor beneath in combo with male solderless connectors crimped onto the new switch leads that attach to existing female connectors for the original switches. I bought mine from this eBay seller: rvoutlet: 12 Volt DC Dimmer Switch for LED, Halogen, Incandescent

Thanks, I will look into this for the wall mounted switch. What about the non switch light in bathroom that has the motion detector? If I walk in at night.......it’s way to bright, and I was hoping to not turn off the motion detector.
