Hello, does anyone know of any very low current dimmer circuits out there?
This is partly solved, and I've posted links for anyone building circuits like these (post #4).
Here is the one I made from scratch, but it doesn't work below 120 watts.
I would like to build one that could run at under 100 watts of current.
(It uses regular 115vac house current at 60hz) I'm also planning on using 220vac with this dimmer as well.
Does this circuit pass for this kind of voltage?

The application would be for a plasma electrolysis experiment I am conducting.
It seems that right when the reaction is at its peak, the power drops off to a point where the dimmer can't run because of the low amp draw.
If it were to function under low current conditions, I think the reaction could be better.
The full circuit this dimmer would be in is here at 40 seconds into video.

Is this an unfixable trait of triacs? Or can there be a workaround.
