Electronics » Dimming :Cansmart & Denali D2

Hello all,

I have the D2 controlled by Cansmart. The dimming feature definitely worked in the fall, last night I noticed I couldn’t get it to work. Plugged in Denali’s hexcan software to see what I could see and everything looked normal. However, when I switched on two-wire mode dimming capability was restored. I don’t think I should have to use 2 wire mode. Any ideas on what is going on?

Thanks!

Denali D2's are all (I believe) PWM enabled lights so have 3 wires.

In this case you shouldn't need 2 Wire dimming enabled on the CANsmart.

When you say they are not dimming, in what secnario are you referring? i.e. going from dipped beam to high beam?
If this then ensure that dipped beam settings are set lower than main beam.

If you hold the Wunderwheel to the left for 5 seconds the lights should flash twice and you will be able to adjust them in 10% increments, can you do this?

Hello Phil,

Irrespective of the settings (ex 60% in daylight) the lights are at 100%. When I try and manually dim, I push the wonder wheel, after five seconds the lights blink and then when I turn the wonder wheel they don’t dim. The lights stay full bright until I turn the wonderwheel enough that they eventually turn off. When I switched it to two wire mode, dimming functionality was restored but I only have 6-7 steps from off to full bright. Bizarre cause everything used to work.

Thanks!

That is strange and something I haven't come across on so far.

Might be worth dropping an e-mail to the US tech guys, I have always found them really helpful.
