Girard awning light dimmer

[John Dehne]

We would like to add a LED dimmer to our Girard awning on our 2021 Hull 901. Looks like it would have to be mounted and wired next to the wind sensor. Have any of you done this?  Thanks in advance.

I have not done that but, FWIW, I plan to add dimmer for all outdoor LED lights by replacing the light switch with something like this inline dimmer. I hope that I can just replace a switch using the simplified hookup below. What I am not sure is that the LED lights Oliver using are dimmable or not. I also don't know how I would retrofit the dimmer into the control panel.

oh, forgot to mention, looks like someone mentioned here that should be doable.

I wanted to put dimmers on the interior lights, but heard back from Oliver that they are not dimmable. Bummer. Let me know what you learn about the outdoor bulbs!

This stuff is great for the outdoor lights.  Makes them dimmer and less harsh.
