INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL LIGHTING
Dimmer for Dinning Table Ceiling Light
Tip submitted by Doug Key 8/2002 (email keyd@earthlink.net)
The four bulb fixture above the dinning table was too bright for most purposes so I installed a 12-volt rheostat to allow adjustment from full bright to just barely on.  The rheostat is available at Camping World for under $40.00.   Installation was straightforward but be sure to read installation instructions.  Loosen the angled cover panel going from the sidewall to the ceiling to gain access to the light fixture wires.  Find the wires going to the light fixture.  Determine where you want to install the rheostat and mount it on the cover panel.   Cut wire to permit connection and wire according to instructions.  Reinstall cover panel.  Should take around an hour or less.  You can now have soft light for watching TV or relaxing or bright light for reading, crafts or whatever.
