REFLECTOR: Composite Designs Landing Gear Controller Dimmer?

[Reiff Lorenz]

Don,

I think there are multiple versions of the RG system. I suspect that the one I have (circa 2000) does not have a a dimmer circuit.

Check out these images and let me know if you see the spade connector that you mentioned. I'm not seeing where I could connect a dim switch.

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
