Question Can you dim LED Christmas tree lights?

My wife bought a Christmas tree from Balsam Hill that has LED lights and it is super bright. Is there a way to dim it? I don’t see anything that says if the lights are dimmable or not.

I have seen replacement transformers on Amazon that have remotes with a dimming function but none of them have the exact voltage and wattage that is listed on the transformer that came with the tree. I don’t know if it has to be exactly the same or not.

Here is what is on the transformer that came with it. Any help would be appreciated.

OUTPUT/SORTIE: 28V - - - 0.643A​
 
The transformer doesn't matter, it matters if the LEDs themselves are dimmable, if they only work at 28V and otherwise don't light up at all then you can't dimm them.
All you can do is to try with a transformer with less volts and hope that it works.
(Well there should be a tiny resistor on the cable with the LEDs and changing that would change the amount of volts getting to the LEDs but there is some experience needed to do that)
