Dimmer switch replacement for the TAB400 rocker switches?

madtrout · November 2020

Has anyone found a dimmer switch that would swap out with the existing rocker switches for the lighting in the TAB400? The leds are nice, but just a bit too bright at times. Thanks, Mark

I haven’t seen one but you should be able to retrofit one easy enough. Amazon has many and here is one for openers.

In one of the many T@B / T@G modifications YouTube videos, someone installed colored cellophane sheets inside the light fixtures to provide a warm glow as they didn't like the bright light either.

Thanks for the tips.

Good chance they aren't dimmable. You have to have leds that are designed to be dimmed and then a compatible dimmer switch.

I would find out if they can be dimmed before retrofitting a dimmer switch.

@N7SHG_Ham, I agree. It seems there was a post 3 or so years ago and it was determined that most of the LED’s used then in the T@B’s were not dimmable.

I'll contact NuCamp on Monday and find out if they are dimmable.

I chose this route, purchasing color gels (Rosco #204 CT Orange) from a professional photography site. I then used a paper cutter to cut long strips of the gels to fit into the tracks that hold the LED strips. The gels provided a much more pleasing color temperature and softened the recessed lighting in the cabin. The sheet of gel material was less than $6 dollars.

Excellent idea, thanks!
