ℹ️ Having Simulators and Home Cockpits with Back Lighting is definitely a game changer. Back Lighting adds another level of comfort, and it makes it easier to locate specific labels or instruments. However, sometimes the lights may be too bright, or to dim, and need to be either increased or decreased. This is where a good Dimmer comes into play. In this video the process of adding a dimmer to Backlit Flight Simulator panels is reviewed. #flightsimulator #xplane11 #flightsim #homecockpit

Something to keep in mind. If you have created panels and either constructed a rudimentary led pcb panel to be layer stacked with an acrylic legend plate using 3mm or 5mm round top leds or you have designed and printed a pcb to have smd 3528 or 5050 leds soldered on you may experience drop out of the led lighting when dimming to a certain point if you are using run of the mill dimmers like found in this video (no offence) then you need to switch to a "PWM LED Dimmer" They look similar but are pulse width modulated. You'll reduce, lower or completely remove the "drop out" and be able to dimm them to ridiculously low levels of light. Just an fyi.............from my own mistakes.

Thanks for the feedback. Great tips. So far Haven't experienced any of that with the panels shown, and a sure way to avoid those mistakes is to always consult with the manufacturer of your panels to see what they recommend. If you have any links to the dimmers that you have been using please reply with them so that I can also list them as a source. Thank you.
