    Control/Dimming Low cost PC-controlled 12V dimmer?

    Thanks cutlunch. The ART dimmer seems like overkill for what I am trying to do (given the serious power handling I am sure it is pricey, and I don't look forward to stacking 140 of those relatively big boxes.) The velleman kit is more my speed (I knew they had line voltage dimer kits but...

    Control/Dimming Low cost PC-controlled 12V dimmer?

    Thanks for the reply. I agree that 14K is not a small cap on the investment but I have come to grips with the fact that given the number of circuits this will not be inexpensive. I would prefer dimming at the 12V level. (I am hoping i can get economies of scale/size by sharing transformers...

    Control/Dimming Low cost PC-controlled 12V dimmer?

    I have an application where I need to control 280 12V 20W halogen lamps individually from a PC. The key constraint is I need to keep the hardware scalable to that large number of lamps at low cost (max $50 per circuit.) Can anybody suggest low cost 12V dimmers (rated at 2A or more) that would...
