really? Hmm... ive never ran into that problem yet at work but will definitly remember it next time im scratching my head over a problem. Thanks again. So now im just thinking here but doesnt that dimmer vary the voltage to the source? The reason i ask is that the power source im using i can easily switch to 9vdc or 7.5vdc down to 3.5vdc. So just thinking but if too bright, drop it down to 9V? What do ya think? or am i missing somthing again??? Thanks for the help.
