Good afternoon!

 

I've been trying to figure this out for quite some time now and have not had any success. I am trying to adjust the permanent brightness level of my LEDs. I went into Sectional Map Settings and changed the "High Level" to 30. I tried several values between 0 and 255 and noticed no change. Does that mean my lights are just not dimmable? Or is this user error?

 

These are the lights that I have installed in my map: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AU6UG70/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

 

Thank you!

Update: After further messing around with the settings, I noticed that if I manually adjust each color in the "LED Color Settings", I can force it to be dimmer. For example, VFR's default color value is (0,255,0), but I can make it dimmer by changing the color to (0,30,0). Do I really have to do this for every one?

No, you shouldn't have to. The brightness is not linear though. In otherwords, 128 is not half as bright as 255. So the closer to 0 you get, the dimmer it should be. BTW: Are you using an ambient light sensor? - Mark
