Hi Everyone - You've never failed me before so I'm back! lol
I am putting together my own DIY Followspot from an ETC source 4 ellipsoidal (5 degree) 750 watt.
I want it to be dimmable by the operator. I saw a couple of videos that use a regular old home "wall dimmer switch" inline with the power cord to make it dimmable.
Is that true? Is it safe? I have seen dimmers designed for this but they require an edison plug and are like $50. I'd prefer the wall dimmer if its safe.
I luckily (stupidly ?) ordered it with out a plug end so it is just as much work as buying a dimmer that requires an edison plug.
I have attached pictures for reference. Thanks in advance
