Interesting, I did not think of the dimmer circuit. Not sure at the moment if our simulator even dims at all, will have to check that detail out. It also might ALWAYS be in dim, since the cockpit is darker than the real world.

Did find another problem, white LED's (or at least the ones I picked up) work ok in the Red Warning panel, but when installed in one of the caution (amber) places the light becomes yellow instead of amber. Must be the light temperature. I had hoped to use just a collection of white, but might have to use different colors for different spots.

Thanks.
