To use a resistor you need the bulb wattage and have to calculate size and wattage of the resistor used. I dim with diodes,use appropriate amperage diodes. A single string in one direction will drop voltage on DC. Described here for AC again you only need a single string and not paired diodes. each diode in series will drop about .6 volts.
