Factory installed Awning LED strip brightness.

Our TT has the factory LED lighting in the awning. I too don't like the color. It's cool white and just too blue-ish. It is really bright after dark and installing a dimmer would be a good idea.

There is this LED dimmer on ebay listed for RVs. I can't get the link thing to work so you will have to copy and paste this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RV-LED-Dimmer-Switch-BRAND-NEW-EXCLUSIVE-/281261224069 It looks like it will stay illuminated at night which may be good for some. I think I will look into using this dimmer.

It looks like your light(s) need to be wired by the factory so that 12 volt power is run to the switch first. If it runs to the light(s) first, then you'll only have 2 wires to the switch and it needs continuous un-switched 12 volts. Or if you have 12 volts you can tie into nearby the switch, that should work.

We have had a LOT of compliments in CGs on our awning lights.

Is it too WHITE or too BRIGHT?
In LED world those are two completely different things. Bright you can fix for about $6 as mentioned above. White is a whole different problem.

The answer is "yes". But I will settle for being able to dim it down some. Thanks for the information folks!

Thanks, how about now? This is the only message board I use that doesn't have image upload, so was linking from one that did.

I just did a google search "LED dimmer" and found these...

Lots to choose from, but you first have to determine if the switch is 110v or 12v. The switches may not fit your switchbox, but that RF remote looks sexy!

I would add a remote dimmer, like this one from Amazon:

LED Remote Dimmer Controller

With it, you can turn the LED strip on and off, and dim them, by remote control.
