Using Dimmers in Home Cockpits with Backlit Panels

Having Flight 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 too 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.
