Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 How far is technology away from been able to put a variable power dimmer switch on LED lamps?I've had head torches that can do that for over a decade. ? Dimmer switch? Or the shitty click button where they jump up and down brightness in stages? I'm guessing the latter. Quote Link to post

Well I think it does, the lad was asking about variable power dimmer switches on LED lamps. A dimmer gradually adjusts the brightness from nothing to full brightness. The ones you've had jump from one mode to another and to get from the lowest to the highest you've gotta skip through 3-5-7 modes creating a countryside disco. 1 Quote Link to post
