[QUOTE="NozSpark, post: 361987, member: 601"] I suppose that all depends on the dimmer technology... IIRC don't they use an SCR to chop the leading or trailing edge off (at a voltage determined by the pot) and then try to smooth out the result. I've never put a scope on a dimmer before,, might be interesting to see ;) [/QUOTE]
