You won't need to adjust the intensity quite often. Its one of those adjust-and-forget thing. More functional as a Power ON switch... in case you have a blank anywhere, that could go there easy.

Different leds emits different intensity. That was the reasoning behind the brightness controller really (one fits all). Amber might have to be set 50% , cold white at 25%, and red needs to be at 5% (red is the brightest of all). That's all that box does in all honesty. I'd just hide it somewhere - no use!
