I painted mine, left a small amount unpainted facing the direction I wanted
brighter

I want to use these for accent lighting, not as task lights.
Unfortunately, a dimmer doesn't work with an electronic
'transformer', and a magnetic transformer costs more than the lamps.
Could I simply use a lower voltage electronic transformer? If so,
how low should I go to get, say, half as much light output?
