As you 
dimmed the lights the color output of the lights warmed up a lot 
resulting in the slides with a warm color cast. If you re-shoot the 
slides with the lights on full power and adjust your exposure 
accordingly you will get much better results. However, there are still 
some other factors you would need to take in account to get a perfect 
color match from prints to slides.
here is how i create my own slides, without any of the strange color shifts 
mentioned.

i use a copy stand, with a flood light positioned an equal distance, on each 
side of the stand, and a BLUE BCN #1 light bulb in each one (you can purchase 
these at just about any Photo Specialty Store, or online.), and i do NOT use 
any other lighting in the room. i take a light reading with a light meter, and 
gray card, and have never had a problem.
