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!



You want a variable resistor. The value depends on the particular LED but
you might try 2.5K or 5K.
