NON-DIMMABLE and too WHITE) Daylight Less light per foot than others NON-DIMMABLE as advertised!

I was looking forward to it. They looked from the outside, quality assembly and packaging. This is where the good stopped. They advertise it as two things that are very important to me. Dimmable and 3000k. 3000K or less gives a nice warm Edison glow. It's not 3000k or less. They seem to be a lot more "daily" or 5000k in my opinion. Just to make sure I took out a 3000K (warm white) LED and what the difference is. They should be under 3000k to be honest, but that's nowhere near. Worse, these lights are not dimmable. It doesn't dim on any of the dimmers I've found and the one made by the same company and usually ordered with this item. No, unless you're talking about 1 abrupt dimmer step and then off. It does NOT gradually dim and has nothing between FULL ON, then flickering dimming (annoying) and off. There are fewer bulbs per foot, which also makes this a losing choice. UPDATE >> These bulbs are dimmable, but ONLY if you draw a certain wattage more than the 15 bulbs included. I hated the color of these LEDs and the fact that they don't dim. I have spare bulbs (standard Edison bulbs) that draw more current. Having added a lightbulb to the system (which draws almost as much as the other 15), the LED dimming feature now works. I've experienced this before where you needed a certain amount of "pull" before it could feel or work. The smaller system with 15 lamps is not dimmable when delivered. However, if you (probably) use a longer string, or replace a lightbulb with a regular lightbulb, it will dim successfully. It would be ideal if the LEDs were 2700K and no daylight.
