Reviews

Works great to replace the defective original rheostats in my Cessna 150L. Something worth noting -- the slightest bit of panel modification was needed to make them fit in the original space (about 20 seconds with a dremel and done).

Another MAXDIM product for me. I used the DUODIM for dash lights and overhead but do not like dash lights and EI gauges controlled by same line. So I purchased this singe dimmer and it is controlling ALL my EI gauges. This way I have more control over lighting intensities, dash vs EI.

Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: Is the MaxDim dimmer model B analog or solid state unit?

This dimmer is solid state.

Q: Are these MaxDim dimmer model B units PWM dimmers or straight analog dimmers?

Per the MFG. - they are PWM and have passed the DO-160 (EMI noise) testing required by the FAA.

Q: Can you use these dimmers for incandescent panel lights as well as LEDs?

Yes this dimmer can be used on both. Plug and play.

Q: Can this Maxdim dimmer be connected to the dim input of a Garmin GTN 650/750?

Some Garmin units have internal PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) dimming circuits. If these units have internal PWM dimming and it cannot disabled, you should not hook it up to our dimmer. It is not good practice to use one PWM dimmer to dim another unit using its own PWM dimming. If the Garmin unit does not have internal PWM dimming or if it does but the internal PWM dimming can be disabled, then the unit should work fine with our dimmer.

We always recommend confirming in the Garmin manual before installing or trying any subcomponent.
