[SML] Shopping for small -low wattage dimmers for household 120v

[Steve Boone]

These single, in-line dimmers are more commonly found in film/tv lighting gear.  Filmtools .com has some that are almost identical to your illustration.  Also, LEX products dealers can get high-end ($$$) versions that have DMX capability.  I was in a department that had both theatre and film, and I always wanted to get one or two of the LEX Products dimmers, but other things like Zeiss lenses sucked up the money! (Film can be really expensive!)

> I am familiar with the standard 8" square, 6 Lb dimmer pack that handles 600 Watts/channel.? However, I am hoping to find something much smaller, and perhaps even an in-line single channel system with much less wattage, and designed for use with household 120v LED bulbs.
> My own searching has turned up nothing. The closest I've seen is the American DJ Unipack II, 1-Channel.? It is essentially like the 4-channel versions I mentioned, and around 75% of the size and weight.
> I was looking to see if I might make this a DIY project.. And years ago, I do recall seeing small circuit boards, which were 1-channel DMX dimmers. But, I can't find any anymore.
