A Dyson sphere or a swarm would not change the total amount of perceived energy being emitted from a star however it would change the composition of the light emitted.
If you put a shade around a light bulb the amount of visible light will be reduced however if you measure the total output of the lightbulb with or without a shade it would remain the same just more shifted towards the IR spectrum as the shade would absorb visible light will get hot and emit that energy as IR.
