Just a quick question
On the older style dimmer switches (the modern ones all seem to have remote controls, and glowing bits, and all sorts of fancy rubish) - I'm talking about the ones that you simply turn to make the light brighter or dimmer - are these just a large potentiometer? or is it a small rehostat or something?
Thinking about it - what is the difference between a potentiometer and a rehostat? (if thats how you spell it)
Thanks
Tim
