Lois Posted September 3 Report Posted September 3 Only bleed thru was on the high boost pump switch. A little paint on the back side fixed that. I’m on the road currently but get the numbers for you this weekend Yes I did use them and were super helpful with customer service for the designs on the covers. 12 volt or 24? Quote
shawnd Posted September 3 Report Posted September 3 Mine is 24V. I got mine through rockerswitchpros.com but also talking to Jim at OTRTTW for the L series ones (also used in M20U). An example or pictures of how you did the paint workaround would be appreciated :-)No rush - thank you. Quote
Lois Posted September 4 Report Posted September 4 Well they are almost the same company one is the supplier and one is the retailer. On the locking switch the locking mechanism tacked the place of one of the lights. So the single light highlights the label not the I/O indicator. So I painted the back of the indicator lens. The version I bought are the 12 volt version of the U switch with LED amber back light and green LED indicator with the exception of high boost and prime. Quote
shawnd Posted September 4 Report Posted September 4 Gotcha. I bought the 24V ones with cool white independent on top and dependent on bottom. They recommended against the warm white for heat issues. Need to test it on the panel when it’s ready. It’s not a problem at all during the day but need to dim it down for dark ops. Amber has a less light leak than the cool white. But with a good dimmer, hoping it’s not an issue. Al visual, but still, bothers me when we are spending so much money on the plane :-) Quote
Lois Posted September 4 Report Posted September 4 I converted to duodim led control at the same time. Quote
shawnd Posted September 4 Report Posted September 4 Yeah my shop had me switch to MaxDim Duo as well, to get rid of the old school potentiometers and allowing better control of LEDs. Quote
Lois Posted September 4 Report Posted September 4 My logic was I’m spending a huge amount on the panel that has to be completely rewired anyway. 500 for the duodim and switches (parts only) would only disappoint me in the long run. Only gotchas before ya start is where you have room for the circuit breakers you must add and on my plane I needed a diode on the boost pump switch. Lots of repinning old connectors to make it work. 1 Quote
