Planning my Instrument Panel and need your
"experienced" advice.

Has anybody mounted these lights - one on F804N-L and
another on F804N-R to be used as a general utility
light (map light) ?????. These will be mounted on
the "upper" portion of both F804N's, near the canopy
rail - which is angled down.

Plan to use the 2 of them simultaneously (one on each
side of the cockpit). Is a Dimming Pot actually
required to vary the light intensity or would just a
Toggle Sw be adequate (OFF or ON) which would only
give ONE brightness level (Full Bright) for night use
????

If you have used 2 of them simulatneously with a
Dimming Pot, what value did you use ???

Since I do not have one to experiment with:
a) Is there an internal resistor inside the Eyeball
Assy or is an
"external" resistor required for current
limiting ???
b) Do the Instruction Sheet give any info on
Voltage and Current
requirements for the LED ??

Thank you, Garey Wittich Santa Monica, CA
