Need to buy/make a dimmer for a 750 watt stage lamp.

My first thought is to just use a dimmer from box store and slice up an
extension cord and splice it in. That is assuming they have dimmers
to handle that load.. it would be easy to find a cord that would handle
that load.

Do they make 1000watt+ dimmers?

Is there a better solution. (light must be mounted about 25 feet away
from nearest power source, so need some bit of cord run.)



Ten bux froom Harbor Freight will get you one that will handle 750 watts
and comes in its own box awready, just get an extension cord that can
handle 12 amps and you should be fine.

I've used mine for the same purpose:
