	dimmers.net - Dimmers Lighting Controls & Dimmer Switch
		Dimmers are used to control the brightness of an electric light source and are often combined with an on/off switch.
		Residential dimmers are designed to meet the needs of homeowners and architects in both style and function.
		Commercial dimmers and dimming systems are designed to meet the requirements of architects and specifiers of commercial spaces such as hotels, restaurants, offices and warehouses.

	3 Way Dimmer Switch (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Dimmers are used in stage lighting to regulate the amount ofpower supplied to a lantern.
		While they were stillnearly as large as rheostat dimmers, they were highly efficient devices and their dimming effect was independent of the loadapplied so it was far easier to design the lighting that would be attached to each autotransformer channel.
		Remote control of thedimmers was still impractical, although some dimmers (typically, for "house light" use) were equipped with motor drives thatcould slowly and steadily reduce or increase the brightness of the attached lamps.

	Dimmer Switch
		Dimmer switches are made with tiny LED light level indicators, softly glowing night lights, and tap-on and tap-off capabilities.
		While the older light dimmers had a potentiometer (variable resistor- rotating or slide type) as the method of controlling the semiconductors within them, they never were truly a 'rheostat' as you explain.
		While some newer dimmers have eliminated the potentiometer in favor of touch plates, and the working components are about the same, the efficiency of the semiconductor devices have improved tremendously, and improved efficiency leads to less loss on the switching which results in lower heat dissipation.

	Homeowners Clinic June 2006: Dimmer Switches, Shower Installation, Solar Engineering and More - Popular Mechanics
		Dimmer switches save energy by switching the light on and off 120 times per second, which reduces the energy moving through the circuit.
		These switches are more durable and energy efficient than inexpensive dimmers, and their electronic circuitry eliminates radiofrequency interference that can occur when a dimmer is used on the same circuit with electronics such as an AM radio.
		Without the extra cooling surface area, and in proximity to the other dimmers, the switch operates at a high temperature and cannot be used at its full wattage rating.

		WIRING NOTE: This dimmer does not control the power to the load (it is not in series between the power source and the load), but rather it controls the return side of the load by being in series between the load and ground.
		If the power input to the DC Dimmer Switch is 20 to 32 volts, the unit will operate as a 24 Volt Dimmer.
		Seat the dimmer guts (the pc board with the up/down arrows) in the housing, pushing the excess wire into the wall - the indicator lights belong on the left side of the up/down arrows.

	4 channel dimmer
		This power supply must be separate from all other power supplies in the dimmer, because then the 9V output is connected to the triac card it becomes to float at mains potential (the 9V input + in triac card is in direct connection with mains live wire).
		At that load the heating of the dimmer was not a problem at few hours of constant use at near full power output.
		This allows this dimmer to be used with disco light setups that use this connector.

	CD Baby: DIMMER: spot you in the crowd
		dimmer was formed in November of 2001 by Tony Weeks and Tom Rogers in the small southeastern town of Americus, GA. Both solo artists and natives of the area, Weeks and Rogers had known each other for years, but had never collaborated musically.
		Derek's skills were legendary in the area and his enthusiasm and love for music and the project was the last piece to the puzzle.
		With a hybrid sound reminiscent of Toad the Wet Sprocket, Live, and R.E.M., dimmer released its first self-produced full length CD Spot You In The Crowd in late 2002.

	FD Dimmer
		When the dimmer is supplied from Avolites, it will (nominally) be trimmed so that an input control voltage of 0 Volts DC to an input channel has the associated output channel FULL OFF, and an input control voltage of 10 volts DC has the associated output channel FULL ON.
		It may be that the dimmers you are using are unfamiliar to you, in which case it is a very good idea to retrim them to save grief later.
		The dimmer test switch on the front of the module does NOT turn the module FULL ON when it is in the FULL position.

	Replacing a 3-way Switch with a Dimmer
		The dimmer in this situation must be a three way and the three wires must go to the correct terminals.
		Also note that the dimmer function and the switch are separate.

	A Two-into-one Homemade Neon Dimmer
		With my first dimmer lying in smoldering ruin on the bench, there was not much left to do but scrap it out forparts, the most useful being the still good triac, Q1.
		Miscellaneous notes: the triacs used in dimmers seem to be internally insulated from their mounting tabs, allowing them to bedirectly attached to the (grounded) dimmer frame.
		In my dimmer, R1 was 250 ohms, C1 was 0.l uf, C2 (keeps line noise from false-triggering triac Ql) was 0.047 uf, L1 (value unknown, came with dimmer) helps keep switching noise from leaving the dimmer.
