Hi,

I have a Kick Kr6 PWM dimmer (

powering an LED light strip like this one.    Mounted under my glade shield for flood lighting.

Problem is even on the lowest setting per say, the LED strip is too bright for night flying. 1 option is cut the strip down to only 1 LED, option 2 figure out how to possibly lower the amperage prior to the PWM dimmer to give it a smaller range of amperages to dim with. I like option 2 but not sure how to do it.

Andy,



I had similar issues with an LED dimmer I purchased from Perihelion Design.  When I explained the difficulty with the unit to Eric, he redesigned the dimmer to provide better dimming.  I suggest you go to periheliondesign.com and check out Eric’s LED dimmer.  It works great.
