turbo33 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Would a dimmer switch work? GH Tried that and the answer is no if its a mains one. The one that should work is a dimmer switch from the dashboard of a car. Not sure if it would give you all the control you need range wise. I bought one direct from magtame.Its a well made piece of kit, works perfectly and to be honest by the time you have driven to a scrapyard dismantled the bit that may or may not work, there is little to be saved. jmo. Happy shoooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
