I am thinking of making a set of dimmers for Christmas lights. They operate at 120 VAC 0.03A (35 LEDs per string). I have tried to use a normal 300 watt wall dimmer to control the brightness but with out a small incandescent lamp in parallel with the LEDs. The string of Christmas lights will not light until the dimmer is above some unknown voltage (I have not measured). Does anyone have a dimmer circuit that I could make that would not need the small incandescent lamp in parallel with the LEDs?
thanks for the info
