Default is there a way to increase the light of an LED with a dial?

I guess I am looking for a dimmer or something for it - just a dial
that can turn the light up to full or down a little depending on what
I want. But I want it to be controllable with a dial or something. I
hope that is clearer.
Thanks for the quick response and looking forward to the next one!

I am trying to work out a way to increase the light intensity with a
dial for a regular LED from a dollar store flashlight. I don't know
much about the LED since I can't see any markings.
What would I need to buy from Radio Shack or an electronic store to do
this?


Thanks


You probably cannot increase it. Do you mean decrease the light? You could
use a varible resistor to adjust the output to the LED.
