This is a good discussion Jeff. Actually, the LED controlling device works very nicely with LEDs and incandecent bulbs. I have both LED and incandecent lights on mine in the Cub. I'll also be using a combination of both when I refit the lights on the KR this fall. The power supply does not

Ok, It has been a long time since I was in Electrical Engineering 101. But, I believe this is a case where Ohms law needs to be applied to figure out the correct type of pot to use. In fact, I think you actually want to use a rheostat. Ohms law states that V = I X R or voltage equals I

Thanks, that's a great IDEA I will move to that one, just purchased it, much perfer a solid state version. Joe On Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 9:54 AM, Jeff Scott wrote: > I would suggest not using the old heat dissapating resistive dimmers and go > to a solid state LED dimmer.

I would suggest not using the old heat dissapating resistive dimmers and go to a solid state LED dimmer. This is a switching controller, so works very well with LED or

Joe, a lot depends on the circuit that it's in, but for experimental purposes with your result sofar, try a 5kOhm linear taper and if that still doesn't do enough, try a 2kOhm. You may need to use a wirewound pot rather that plastic depending on how much current you are dissipating. Cheers,

I got a digital Torque meter from a local tool supply for about AU$100. Not only does it measure very accurately it can also be used to calibrate my other torque wrenches and those of my club buddies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EeQeH5YAcA Paul Smith Brisbane, AUSTRALIA
