[simpits-tech] Sim Blog update <gasp!>

[Sean Galbraith]

Hey John,
The dimmer was just something he got in as a gamble.  It was listed in a
supplier catalogue, so he got in a few.

The unit itself is a no-name-brand thing, with nothing other than the
printing on the enclosure to tell you anything about it. There is a
listing on a local auction site for the same thing:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/building-renovation/electrical-lighting/lights/
other/auction-752742928.htm
I'm sure there will be listings of the same thing on ebay....

Ruscool make some really cool stuff, they have a Jetranger panel/control
setup in their workshop which is really slick :)

Sean,

I followed your link to the Ruscool site. I am interested in the LED
dimmer. However, I couldn't find it listed in there product catalog.  Do
you have a more complete neame for it or know where I might find the
item?

BTW - The site is very interesting.  There products look to
professional.

John
