Nope, lights don't really need it either because their load doesn't vary.
And it adds to the cost of the circuit, which really scares the
manufacturers.

In other words, get a light dimmer that will handle the current, one

150 watts will do, and that should do the job. The universal motor on a

you
shouldn't have any problems with it.

Does it have the feedback detection mechanism that tells the controller
that it
isn't running at the speed that the dial position indicates?
