Has anyone ever managed to get LED's to dim using a dummy resistor?

Fitted two 2 foot fluros for a customer but he now says they are too bright. Are there any cheap ways of successfully dimming them? I read that a dimmer switch will work to about 50%, turn on full power and once its fired up turn it down, has anyone tried this?
Thanks
