I have  very small (perhaps two sugar cubes side by side) rectangular cube LED voltmeter (blue in color) that is now mounted on my passenger headrest panel to monitor E-Bus.Very nice display and just the right brightness for daytime operation. For night time operation it's a little too bright.It is a potted two wire volt meter (first saw them in use on motorcycles).Anyone have a more eloquent idea (and where to get materials) how to tame light output other than sticking on a piece of shaded vinyl?Thx.Ron Parigoris   [quote][b]

Ron,  

   

The easy way out…  

   

Cut a piece of window shading (any darkness) to fit over the flat screen. Attach as you would to the car window. Done  

   

   

Do Not Archive

Put a switch on it, so it's only active when you want to monitor the ebus 

voltage.
