Dimming the LED lights over the bed and Dinette?
Other than using a dedicated LED dimmer module to control the lights, has anyone been successful in dimming the LED light fixtures Thor uses (at least) in the Compass/Gemini over the bed and dinette area?
Or, if you have used a dimmer module, which one did you use?

Not all LED lights are dimmable. I believe this question was brought up once before but I don't remember if a resolution was found.

Google is your friend...
Look for dimmable LED lights
(Dimmers too!)
Happy hunting.

They won't dim, but if, like me, you just think they're too bright all the time, I cut some "sun shield" window film into round pieces, and placed them inside the white plastic cover. They cut the intensity down to a more comfortable level.

Not to worry about too bright lights. When you are into your 80's, there is no such thing as too bright indoor lights, only ones that are to dim.

Amen to that.

That sounds like an excellent plan! Where can I get a square foot of that material?

*smile* I understand that very well. That's why I want them adjustable!

I stuck glow-in-the=dark duct tape to the inside of the lenses.
