The LC-40e Lighting Controller is a  Low Cost Four-Channel Light Dimming System for Experimental Aircraft


Q: Why can't I just use a simple rheostat or potentiometer to dim the panel lights?

A: Potentiometers can't handle the current of more than two or three typical panel post lights. The LC-40 will dim up to eighteen post lights per channel. 

Q: Why do I need more than one dimming channel?

A: General aviation airplanes have notoriously poor cockpit lighting.  In part, this is due to trying to dim all the lights with one control.  Invariably some lights need to be brighter than others.  For example, post lights generally need to be operated dimmer than internally lit instrument lights.  Did you know that airliners have more than twenty dimming control knobs in their cockpits to attain proper brightness for each group of lights?
