 |
|
I bought an AeroElectric multi light dimmer from a builder who never used it in his aircraft.
The dimmer will work great for the few lights, radio, and transponder I am installing in my RV-9.
One question though, I have an electroluminescent strip above my switch and fuse panel. Can this be controlled through 'lectric Bob's dimmer?

My homebuilt aeroelectric dimmer works well. The dimmer has a 4 volt
minimum brightness setting for incandescant bulbs. With the small cube
inverter that came with my strips I found that the 4 volt minimum
setting was a bit high so I swapped out the 910 ohm resisistor for a 150
ohm resistor so that the minimum voltage is now about 1.7 volts. You may
find that is not necessary on your installation but I like to dim the
strips quite a bit on dark nights.

Ken,
Thanks for the help. I hope to power it up for the first time today and see how it looks.
If the strip is blinding I'll put a resistor in line with it.
