Dimmer question...
I have a lamp dimmer that I'm hoping that I can use for a project. Before I
go and start a fire or suffer a meltdown I thought it best to ask for feedback... At one end of the dimmer there is a polarized plug that you plug into the wall. The other side of this plug provides a polorized outlet into which you plug your lamp. The other end of the dimmer cable is a slider with and LED. Sliding this control lowers and raises the brightness of the lamp. What I wish to do is instead of plugging a lamp into the dimmer outlet, I want to splice into the dimmer cable. I'm assuming that the dimmer outlet is electrically the same as the wire travelling to the dimmer. Am I out to lunch on this, or do I have my head on straight? |
