Hello all,
My friend has asked me to build him something called a sugar lamp, its a basic piece of kit with a stainless steel base and one or two 500-2000w ceramic heat lamps mounted above.
This is the style of bulb required-

The practical side of the build i am more than happy with, but i don't real have the experience to confidently tackle the electronic side.
I need to make the lamps dimmable, so he can fine tune the temp.
But i cant imagine its as simple a just using a heavy duty potentiometer. or is it?
Thx,
Dan.
