I totally agree that there is no need to make the existing LEDs dimmer than they already are, but a fast solid state relay should be able to use the pulse width modulated Klipper output to make very bright LED lighting that can be dimmed if you like.
As for providing light for the bed and nozzle, I’m thinking about maybe replacing the wire running up the corner to the right of the door on the Zero with an LED strip that starts at the floor of the Zero and runs all the way up to the top, then completely encircles the top per my upgraded Zero lighting. The added 400 mm of LED lighting should brighten the interior and provide even more usable light. I’m now seriously thinking about buying a second Zero. If so, I’ll give that upgraded lighting upgrade a try. The older I get, the more light I want.
@Hasper (on Discord) found this 15x6cm LED panel on AliX. “Car Interior Ceiling Lamp with On Off Switch”. with good results. I like how focused the light is for helping the camera, and how tidy it is generally. The integrated switch is also handy.
While advertised as “30W”, this 54LED COB panel is an 8W/0.33A load at 24V (edit: turns out specs are marketing BS. shocker, I know), it is probably overkill for improving the camera since everybody’s posted builds with distributed strips have been great, and only used 5-10W . Its also so much wattage it probably warrants being on a separate 24V supply.
In contrast, this “10W” module is a similar 15x7.5cm form factor, so it’ll still be focused, and therefore likely plenty bright for the camera while being able to tap off the existing supply (but not the mainboard)
One note - since these evidently have switching regulators (allowing them to run anywhere from 12V - 85V or so), I don’t think PWM dimming with an external FET or SSR will work.
