Easy to find dimmer knob. Low-tech construction meets LED high-tech and works like a charm.

Here's the one that we use a lot at Wasteland:

Runs on four AA batteries and has a filter snap on/off filter holder to stick in CTO or any other color correction gel you need, depending on your lighting. Just keep lots of fresh batteries handy as it will drain them down in a few hours, but way better than having yet another cord hanging off of another device for the camera operator to get tangled up in!

Good series, Paul
Keep it up!
