Hi Guys

Can someone recommend a 'dimmer' for the instrument lights, that will achieve this:
three position switch - Off- On -Dim

Regards

Do you mean that you want off and two fixed brightnesses (dim and full) or do you
want off and an adjustable brightness up to full?

If the former, then you just need a SPDT [OFF-ON-ON] switch and a high wattage
resistor of a value that gives the brightness you desire.  Dim goes through the
switch then through the resistor, bright just goes through the switch.  We can
help with resistor value and wattage if you can post specifics about your installation.

If you want adjustable brightness, then Eric Jones makes/sells a linear dimmer
unit here...

   Some do, most don't . . . but there is no 'general rule'


Emacs!


   Illumination feeders to multiple swithces
   can be 'daisy cahined' with short segments
   of wire crimped into the fast-ons as suggested
   above.


   Eric Jones offers a little dimmer assembly (noise
   free) that would work nicely with this task.
