Default Will LEDs work with Vans $20 dimmers?

Any idea if Van's $20 dimmers < http://www.vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/...product=dimmer > will handle LED lights? I only need 2 circuits (one for an LED glareshield strip and one for 1-2 LED map lights), so I don't want to go with the 4-channel LC-40 that a number have reported problems with in the past.

Glareshield strip:

Map lights:

Thanks.

Steve,

I have the Van's LED lightstrip on one dimmer and the Van's LED maplight on another. They both work great.

Note that I only have six hours on the airplane, so I can't make any comments on longevity.

Thanks for the quick reply, Pat. I'll give them a try.

I've got 3 LED maplights on Vans dimmer and they work just fine.
