DIY Remote Controlled Dimmer for hot lights
Neil November 4th, 2007
Here’s the exact unit I purchased from Home Depot, even though they don’t have it on their site. This unit I saw on Amazon, might be easier to not have to do any wiring, and you would be able to leave it in any outlet or be able to separate your outlets further! Heath Zenith Wireless Kit with Indoor Plug-In Receiver, White, and Remote Control, Black #RH-6008-WH5-A Either way you’re only out $35 for a gadget that will allow you to control the light output from your camera position and during shooting without moving.Here’s the link to the video on Cutframe.tv
I’m using standard halogen work lights ($10 at any hardware store), and a Lowel Pro light focusable spot light.




Will this dimmer work between a Lowel Pro Light and a battery? If so, please post instructions on how you got it to work.
Yep it’s a standard dimmer switch purchases at Lowes, and it’s a Lowel Pro light 120AC bulb.
Just follow the instructions in the packaging of the dimmer you purchase.!!!
looks cool..nice post
Hello, i guess this is as good of a place as any to post and let you know. I went to subscribe to your RSS feed, and when i clicked it i got an error that said “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING” followed by other gibberish that scrolled off the screen. I had to force the page to stop loading because it locked up my browser. Cheers.
sorry for the breakdown – I’m currently updating the site software, so that may have been the cause – sorry for the trouble, I don’t seem to be able to reproduce the error….
