[QUOTE="morayfirthaudio, post: 464560, member: 30207"] Thanks Guys :) Sorry I should have said its 240v, I have 2 of these Bulbs so I can use them both if need be. Ive had a hunt on ebay for a Variac and were looking at about £150, (Thump!) so I thought if they could be wired in Series and then pop a Dimmer in place? The Dimmer Racks we use have a pre heat on them with a variable voltage but we cant get it up high enough to make the bulbs glow, They will glow but it needs to be pitch black so we need a tiny bit more voltage. So you think that a Variac is the only answer? Thanks for all your help so far :) [/QUOTE]
