I have LEDs installed, they are a little too bright.

Can the general illumination lamps be adjusted for brightness?

#2 9 years ago

Only if you get a led ocd module

If I put incandescent bulbs back in can I adjust the general illumination?

I didn't see any adjustment on the game at all.

there is no adjustment for bulb brightness on the game if that is what you are looking for. If you get an led ocd module you can keep the leds and use the led ocd module which hooks into the game and allows you to adjust the brightness. Here is a link to their website.

Just a clarification, for the GI, you will want the GI OCD. LED OCD is for the inserts.

No. Incandescents may be dimmer that your LEDs. It completely depends on the LEDs. You could also go with #47s instead of #44s. These would be a bit dimmer.

The only adjustment for the GI in the software is whether or not to allow dimming effects. With LEDs installed, you probably want to turn dimming off, as they will strobe when the games tries to dim them. If you want complete control over the GI brightness, herg's board is your only option. I suppose if all you want to do is dim them a bit, you could add resistors to the GI strings, but this goes beyond my area of expertise.
