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

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,

Hi everyone, does anyone recommend a good POT OHM/K value for use as a dimmer? I got a 10k one and well I have to go to the very end to get it to go on and I have very little room (very fine turn) to dimm while I have 75% of the turn that does nothing. Was trying to remember my electronics
