So, your points are quite valid. The dimming will work to a point, then it will just shut off.

Although, with a resistor in series with the LED, you get your current drop when you dim the voltage. Trying to get the right value resistor might be a pain. Perhaps bench test with a potentiometer to find the sweet spot?

Y'know..... The easiest thing to do might just be go to Pick n Pull and grab one. I've got several of them and I don't think I was charged for any of them.
