sdavies Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Turning the lights on DIM the LED's. The dimmer switch however does not dim the leds, only the lit buttons. There are LED's behind each of my buttons (I didn't do the EL wire trick but went for the individual LED per button approach) - and they dim just fine as suggested. Everything that went dim previously under the control of the dimmer still does so, including the dials - they just don't go *AS* dim (then again I wouldn't want it to go as DIM as it did before as I couldn't see much).
