Marauder Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 http://www.steinair.com/product/led-light-dimmer/ This topic was discussed a short time ago. Of course this will only work in your RV-6 or CP-328. Your post is timely. A well known MSC, not to be named, and a fairly chubby Mooney owner, not to be named, were discussing the replacement of factory incandescent bulbs with an LED strip.The well known MSC, not to be named, indicated that the factory rheostat will work fine and has done a number of modifications using this LED for that:Be curious if anyone has a comment on this.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradp Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 I got one of those as a freebie in a bag of nulites I bought used. I showed it to my wife and told her to guess how much they sell for (it's a piece of plastic). Hopefully it works. Woot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWinter Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Found the one that are USB powered with dimmer built in-line. I think I had it rolled pretty bright here, but roll the dimmer down and they work perfect. This was the only pic I had, but the roll goes all the way across the dash and just sticks to the bottom of glare shield. -Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradp Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 I wanted to share a video I took of my panel light setup with the conventional rheostat driving the glareshield lights and a max dim Driving the nulites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradp Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of LED lighting. If hypothetically it was, it would have been held on by sticky back tape and have a removable plug.

INA201 Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Has anyone replaced their glareshield lights and overhead lights with LED bulbs using the old rheostat? Seems to be the easiest option. Also, I currently have nu lights, do they ever burn out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradp Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 ^^ that video the red lights are running off the rheostat and the instrument nulites are running off a max dim. If the rheo goes I’ll source another max dim. The one I installed with my IA I got for free with my nulites from a scrap yard. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be the easiest option. Also, I currently have nu lights, do they ever burn out? I tried it a few years ago when those stupid LED bulbs were like $6 a piece. Didn't work because there were at that time only non dimmable LEDs. Also the PWMs weren't readily available like now. I left my original glareshield lights intact with the original rheostat. I installed a dimmable LED strip with a PWM controller that Raptor recommended (not the one he is showing above). It was this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C4UBMY6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is an awesome little unit. Easy to install since it is all housed already.

Yetti Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Did your original install have the red and white switch? Did you keep that option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality on these is great and the price reasonable. The lowest intensity is just high enough at night to see everything you need to see, but not drown out your night vision capabilities. I showed the high, medium and low settings as examples. The max-dim knobs were replaced into the original positions as the previous non-LED knobs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
