I thought of that also but had the idea it might be more beneficial to have a mod in each fixture to use a dimmer......it's nothing than a potentiometer.

You can't really dim LEDs with just a pot. You have to pulse-width-modulate the current flow to them.

Go to this page
RV Light Fixtures & LED Lighting | TVforMyRV.com

and you will find LOTS of ideas and many ways to make your LED fantasy thoughts come true. They really do have a great selection and varied methods of LED lighting solutions. From dimmable to outo on/off and on to auto nite light options. External is the outo on/off (via IR) is the entry way lights and methods to turn on other "scare lights" at the same time. Pretty cool.

URL book marked......thanks. I guess it would be easier to just switch out the fixture.
