DHC-3T Light switch questions

There is a"cabin Light" in the DHC-3T event mapping list, but is there a "cabin" light switch somewhere ? Can't locate one.
Lower panel has 3 position NAV/STROBE|OFF|NAVLIGHTS switch, and on row below there is a on off NAV LTS switch. Is the NAL LTS switch redundant ? Both control the tricolor lights on wings and tail.
Are RealLight intensities user adjustable ? (e.g. map lights, which seem too bright when switched on) Or is light intensitity preset in panel textures ?

Perhaps... you might try reading the manual?

Read the manual. Couldn't find answers. Hence the post. Do you know answers ?

Light intensity is adjustable in all sims. Not just v4.3.
The difference between our night lighting tech and real light is that real light allows for 2048x2048 texture maps and ours only uses 1024x1024.
For the cabin light... honestly, I don’t know but I’m surprised it’s not in the manual.

Actually there is no "cabin light" in the DHC3, but instead two "map" lights, one on pilot and other on copilot's side. Click on either frame to turn it on/off.

Yes, NAV lights (green/red) are feeded by two circuits. One is linked to strobe lights and is operated by NAV/STROBE switch. The other has its own NAV switch. Normally the combined switch NAV/STROBES is used, being the other a backup in case the first one fails.

Instrument Lights are intensity adjustable using the reostat on the pilot's panel.

Thanks guys. Very helpful to understand origins and limitations.
