Question:
Is there a way to dim the lights from the watchdog? It shines right through our trailers window even with the shades closed.

Hey Sean,
The Hughes Autoformers Adhesive Dimmer Shade # HU28VR is exactly what you need. This shade just has a 3M backing to stick to your Watchdog Surge Protector # HU67FR (30amp) or # HU87FR (50 amp) to dim the LED's to something more acceptable. This would also work for the hardwired versions (30 amp # HU77FR and 50 amp # HU27FR ) if you have them in a spot where the light could potentially be an issue.
