      I have some Dimmable LED strips on my system (not the color ones that has its own config).

      I can hook them up the same way as fans to control the power and brightness, Correct? (24v system, 24v led)

      If so would there be a way to control the brightness depending on how far away the hot end is to the LED’s ?

      Reason is I have an endoscope on my hot end and as the hot end nears the LED lights it get whitened out, then too dark in the back.

      Would love to have LED change brightness depending on a single axis location.

      Thanks!

        If it's just a change in PWM level, it could be done in daemon.g. It would require a shorter loop time then the default 10sec.
        You'd poll the X,Y position and calculate the PWM rate accordingly. (eg. tool is at bed center => all PWM at 50%)
