wrap some papers or plastic around the blub?
yes
No yoiu can not
To make light bulbs glow dimmer, I reduced the amount of electricity flowing to them by using a dimmer switch or a lower wattage bulb. This decrease in electricity causes the filament in the bulb to emit less light, resulting in a dimmer glow.
To adjust the brightness of LED bulbs using a dimmer switch, make sure the dimmer switch is compatible with LED bulbs. Install the dimmer switch according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then, use the dimmer switch to adjust the brightness by turning the knob or sliding the switch up or down. LED bulbs may have a minimum and maximum dimming level, so adjust within that range to avoid flickering or damage to the bulbs.
Halogen bulbs flicker on a dimmer because dimmer switches are designed for use with incandescent bulbs, not halogen bulbs. The electrical properties of halogen bulbs, such as their lower resistance when dimmed, can cause flickering when used with dimmer switches not specifically designed for them. Upgrading to a dimmer switch that is compatible with halogen bulbs can help eliminate the flickering.
The number of bulbs a dimmer switch can control depends on the wattage rating of the dimmer switch and the individual bulbs. Consult the dimmer switch's specifications to determine the maximum total wattage it can handle, and then ensure the combined wattage of the bulbs you intend to use does not exceed this limit.
Most CFL bulbs will not work with a dimmer, but there are special ones made for dimmers. Assuming you find some that work, the number depends on the wattage of the bulbs and the rated amperage of the dimmer. To figure it out, you would take the total wattage and divide it by volts. ( 120V) for normal house hold) which will give you amps. Then you would do 15% of the amps the dimmer is rated for and subtract that from the total amps the dimmer. Lets say you have a 15 amp rated dimmer and some 20 watt bulbs. 15% of the dimmer amps would be 2.25 amps, minus from the rating would be 12.75 amps. That is the safe zone. Anything over that on anything rated for 15 amps is considered overloading and dangerous. Now a 20 watt bulb is around 0.17 amps. To be safe lets say .2 amps. That would mean you theoretically could put around 60 bulbs for that one dimmer. No one would recommend doing that nor is it practical. All of this is an example. No exact numbers can be calculated with the info given. If you don't know what you are doing then call a pro. Always deenergize the circuit before working on them, and remember all electricity can kill you regardless the voltage or amps so respect it.
To dim lights effectively in your home, you can use dimmer switches or dimmable light bulbs. Dimmer switches allow you to adjust the brightness of the lights, while dimmable bulbs can be controlled using a compatible dimmer switch. Make sure to check that your light fixtures and bulbs are compatible with dimming before making any changes.

Your dimmer switch may be buzzing due to a loose connection or incompatible light bulbs. To fix it, try tightening the connections, using compatible bulbs, or replacing the dimmer switch if necessary.
Compact fluorescent bulbs used to be all or nothing. They couldn't be dimmed. Most cfl lamps (bulbs) are this kind. However, special cfl bulbs are now being marketed, at a higher price, that can be dimmed by a normal dimmer switch previously used for incandescent bulbs. However, not all dimmer switches work with these newer dimmable cfl lamps.
In a series circuit, adding more bulbs increases the total resistance, which causes the overall current to decrease. As a result, each bulb receives less voltage and therefore becomes dimmer. Thus, the bulbs will be dimmer when more bulbs are added in a series circuit.
