Description
4-Level Brightness Control | Pass Mode | Beacon Mode | 12V Plug & Play
Precision Light Control for Serious Auxiliary Setups
The Maddog Dimmer is engineered for riders who require adjustable auxiliary lighting output without compromising electrical stability or installation simplicity. Designed as a complete control solution, this unit allows real-time brightness adjustment across four output levels while integrating advanced signaling functions such as Pass and Beacon modes.
Unlike basic on/off switch systems, the Maddog Dimmer enables dynamic light intensity control based on riding conditions. Whether navigating dense fog, urban traffic, or open highways at night, this controller allows riders to fine-tune output for visibility and road awareness.
This is a dedicated lighting control system — not just a toggle switch.
Quad-Level Dimming Control
The Maddog Dimmer allows adjustment of auxiliary light output across four predefined levels:
100% – Maximum illumination
75% – High-output cruising mode
50% – Balanced mid-range output
25% – Low-intensity urban or low-visibility mode
This multi-level configuration allows riders to:
Reduce glare in city environments
Improve fog penetration in adverse weather
Adjust brightness to match traffic conditions
Extend auxiliary light lifespan through controlled usage
Brightness levels are electronically regulated to maintain stable current flow.
Integrated Pass Function
The Dimmer includes an integrated Pass functionality.
Pass mode allows:
Instant temporary full-brightness flash
Improved overtaking visibility
Quick signaling to surrounding traffic
This function enhances communication on highways and during overtaking scenarios without requiring separate switches.
Beacon Mode for Visibility Signaling
The Beacon Mode activates a controlled flashing light pattern.
Beacon functionality is designed for:
Emergency signaling
Low-visibility situations
Temporary roadside alerts
Usage of flashing patterns should comply with local traffic regulations.
All-In-One Control System
The Maddog Dimmer comes with its own dedicated wire harness.
Key advantages:
No additional Maddog Switch required
No Wire Harness Pro needed
