Ikea lamp dimmers
Anyone use these things? Please tell me they work great for UTHs, I just bought three of them... they were on sale.

The only difference that I can see is these ones are the slide type rather than the rotary. I like that the plug-in is at the other end from the control. All the wires can be hidden and the control can be mounted to the cage. I got them for 10 bucks each! I could have prolly built them cheaper but these seem so easy and compact.

Did you go to the Ikea 1/2 off sale today? I must have been crazy! It took us 15 minutes just to find a place to park last time we went there. I couldn't imagine if they had a SALE!
Did you buy me some?......lol

Holy smoke! I thought it was too good to be true... the regular price is $18 I think. They had lots of them in Burlington.

I know when katey and I buy the parts (see our rheostat thread), we spend about 10$ on the parts.
How many watts are they?

Corr have you tried them out yet. I was wonder if they work very good. It doesn't look like they have much adjustment to them. I have seen them before just never bought any to try them. But I don like the fact that you can just plug them in and go.

I haven't tried them yet... I'm waiting for some new UTHs so I can set up the new cages I got. I'll post as soon as everything is together and working.
