    Is this the product being packaged for production (dual color AND dimming)?

    No sorry. Dual color WITH Dimming didn’t pan out. The circuitry needed to run all those functions required a onboard processor (so it knew if you HELD vs PRESS the buttons) didn’t play well with the PWM signal of the truck. So I ended up using a mechanical relay which was much more robust, basic and reliable. The trade off; pushing the button switches between TWO functions. So I made the dual color, and dual brightness. Hope this makes sense

    Perfect, thanks. So the dual color is being packaged up. Is the dual brightness also or is that coming later.

    Yes, makes sense. I guess full red/white dimming is not yet a word in your vocabulary. :rofl:

    Also.. for those with a keen eye you will notice it’s missing 4 LEDs in the center as my earlier prototype had (2 top, 2 bottom). as MUCH as I wanted it to be a full bar of lights.. it just couldn’t happen. LEDS have to be driven in a certain number of groups and adding those 4 threw it off which made 1 last led be dimmer:annoyed:. It’s still bright AF though.

    both are releasing at the same time yes.

    My Red Dome suddenly does not turn on.
    I took it out and noticed one of the red LEDs looks to be melted?
    (6 right, 4 down)

    Is this repairable?

    It’s on the drawing board but the issue is real estate. 3G maps are so small as is, and now cram 2 colors in without sacrificing output. (And throw a button in there too!). I have a few tricks up my sleeve so we’ll see. :D

    I throw out many concepts/ideas, only a few will make it to final production.
