Command LED 12v Pods dimmable?

[Junkster]

Have these in my 2024 184bsw.

Are these dimmable (ie can I wire a dimmer knob on main switch)? Can't find much info on them.

I would probably be tempted to contact Command Electronics and ask them

We have some LED lights over the bed that were too bright. I fixed this problem by inserting photography lighting sheets underneath the cover on each ceiling light. Now it's a warm light and sunglasses are not needed in the bedroom
We chose 'Half Orange' and added several layers until we got the perfect brightness.

I added a dimmer to the reading lights over the bed. I can't say they're exactly the same as what you have, but they're awful similar. I got a dimmer off of Amazon.

May try this. Also was debating just swapping out a couple of the manual 12v lights to red.

Mind popping a cover and sharing a pic to compare?

Almost all leds can be dimmed Exceptions are incandescent replacement led or smart bulbs. They have driver boards in them.

I have the oval style and put a dimmer on mine.

Most generic led dimmer modules dim the leds by pulsing the negative lead. (ground or low side). It's easier to do low side control as the components don't need to handle as much current as a high side. The lights probably have a common ground with other 12v devices in the camper, so putting a dimmer on the 12v positive lead will not work.

You need what is called a high side dimmer that will wire into the 12v positive lead going the lights to be dimmed. Unless the dimmer specifically states "high side" its a low side dimmer and pulses the negative lead.
