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.!!!
