Hello! I’m wondering if this switch is compatible with the Dream Lighting 12V LED Dome Light Fixtures found in current year Winnebago Minnie Winnies.

The RV LED Light Side-Slide Dimmer Switch part # 37205-12315 is a universal dimmer designed to be used with LEDs. It's not specific to any one particular light brand/model. If the light uses LEDs it should work just fine.

HI. I have a 2021 Cougar 25RDS. I purchased the 37205-12315 switch, hooked it up per your video and directions. It will turn the 3-lights in my slideout On and Off, but no dimming. I returned the switch and you sent me a new one. Same problem. I'm really stuck here. I would include a photo but that doesn't seem to work on this. I have Red to Red (and the red wire was hot and the lower wire on the switch. I have 2 green wires that go to the lights (they were the upper connector on the switch) and I connected the White wire to that. The black wire goes to the 3 white wires that are crimped together. I sure could use some help. 904.571.1475

Few LED lights are dimable. Is this a stock light from the factory, or a light you bought from us? Most incandescent (standard) bulb and halogen bulb fixtures will work with most dimmer models but lights using LED elements typically do not work with dimmers. LED bulbs either dim insufficiently, flicker, or they don't light at all when fed power through a dimmer switch.
