Side Bar: Dimming Your Practical
You can easily dim any practical, using a portable dimmer that you can easily make from a standard lighting dimmer pack. Assemble the dimmer pack into an electrical outlet box with a ten-foot grounded cable attached at one end and a grounded socket at the other. Plug the box into an outlet in the room and the practical into the box, and you have the ability to dim the practical. The only problem with this is that, when you dim a light source, it changes the color temperature for the source and may cause it to look a little too yellow or orange.
