Hi Daniel,

I have heard, but do not know "directly"... Some folks have had good luck with dimmers. But if they blow their guts out. They fail at full power "ON" baby!! ;-)) The triacs in them like to go to a dead short, which is full ON!! So maybe have an "extra switch" in there "real handy" to turn the monster OFF ;-))

Cheers,

        Terry
