Inline dimmer switches

This what you're after:

TLC have got one by Telco that I use in my bedroom. The only disadvantage is that with a low wattage bulb in the lamp, there isn't enough residual current to turn the dimmer off properly at its lowest setting, so sometimes the lamp glows very dim throughout the night.

You can't have looked far. ;-)

HA1331 @ 14.51 quid. 40-300W

Think I saw them in IKEA also, which might be cheaper.

Hi

I know its not online, but John Lewis do one you can add to the supply cable of a lamp. Not sure if it was 'foot operater' though rather than for sitting in a hanging flex.

You show me TLC in the FAQ then. ;-)

As far as I can see, it doesn't appear. I'm sure that to regulars here it's probably a company name that fairly trips off the tongue but it's not one I'm familiar with and I did try the FAQ first.

Anyway, thanks for the info, it is indeed the sort of beast I'm after.

Cheers.

Massively so - about 4 quid apiece. Fine for those of us for whom an IKEA pod lies on one of the sensible routes between home and work; not much use to the other 99.8% of the population ;-)

It's not in there? I started using them on Matthew Marks recommendation - and he virtually started this group.

A blast from the past - whatever happened to him??!
