Hi guys
I'm new here and I require some help with a project I'm working on. I'm building a lamp prototype and i need to use a potentiometer to act as a dimmer. The pot needs to fit inside a 25mm ID tube, and is connected directly to the mains. First of all is this possible? I think I have found a suitable pot http://ie.farnell.com/jsp/search/browse.jsp?N=411+1000165&Ntk=gensearch_001&Ntt=MDSP&Ntx="(although I would be grateful for help in which one to choose) Sorry If this is appears to be a stupid question, but I have very little knowledge of electronics and nobody to else to ask! If its not going to work, I would be delighted to hear alternative solutions.
Best regards
freddie
