Is the chandelier constant power or on a dimmer?

If you are looking for some lamps that dim and color change wirelessly on constant power, I'll find out what we have been using in onstage practicals.  After some challenges getting them all set up, they have been reliable under show conditions

If you are looking for LED lamps that can be dimmed on a dimmer of some sort, most of the "faux filament" Edison LED lamps will dim well until the input voltage is below the forward voltage of the diodes.  I've not seen anything LED yet that avoids a quick transition (or possibly flickering, depending on the dimmer) from dim to off to dim on a dimmer
