When he says the lights get warm...he means the colour as in kelvin. I use to make so many of these back in the 80's. Today I buy router speed controllers at harbor freight...not expensive and they have a clip on them. Makes it easy to hang the dimmer on the light. Great video Danny.
Dying, you're hilarious. So help me out here. If Im going to hang two gorgeous chandeliers I turned into swag lamps on either side of my couch or bed where is the dimmer box at? Like hidden behind my couch? It's unsightly. LOL!
I’m going to hard wire 2 vanity light bars to there own extension cord they each have 3 60 watt light bulbs. Would I be able to plug them into this if I wanted them to dim?

Christine Baker I’m afraid I’m just a cameraman, and not an electrician, so I am just not much help on things like this :-)

I'm sorry daniela, I'm not an electrician, so I wouldn't be able to give you a definite answer.
Can you a regular extension cord to add a dimmer for a lamp?
Trevor G i'm not an electrician, so I can honestly say. But I have done it
3:10 I love it lol
The little orange plastic thingies? They are wire nuts.
how much did all that cost? a lot more than if I just went on ebay and bought one.
nowadays you can buy virtually anything but lots of people (myself included) still enjoy DIY
im not using it for light i have it for a very very very different purpose
No light dimming demonstration? Thumbs down
