Howsit fellas,
Wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction. I have a 6volt halogen headlight i use for fishing at night in Hawaii. Im trying to find a rheostat or pot that can be used as a inline dimmer control for the light. It runs off a 6volt 4.5amp/h rechargable battery. It took me along time to find out that its a rheostat not a dimmer knob so as you can tell im not an electrician. Ive talked to state electric or what ever they said it needs to be 27watts but i cant find one anywhere. will any rheostat rated above 27watts work or does it have to be exact. Im looking for something cheap for a homemade headlamp system. Can someone plz help. Any info you have to offer would help. Wiring Watts Volts resistance im in the dark.
