REFLECTOR: Composite Designs Landing Gear Controller Dimmer?

[Laurence Coen]

I don't know for sure if it works the way the dimmer works on my EI engine monitor but if it does, connecting it to the panel light switch will make it dim when you turn on the panel lights.

That is a built in power reduction and will not work with a dimmer pod

  There's a .25" spade connector on the back of the controller under the "Alarm" tab that's labeled "Dim".

    Don't think you can hook up a dimmer,but not sure. I have his system and remember wanting to be able to dim at night(I fly a lot at night)and not being able to.Turns out to not really be that bad,all the lights are out in cruz and the bright lights till gear up or till landing is not bad
