24 Volt Dimmer

[Matthew Durkin]

Hi All,
I'm about to buy a 24V AC transformer to run a low voltage supply into my
back garden. This will need to supply 24V AC to a pond pump, pond lights,
pond mister maybe, and additionally I want to run 4 x 24Volt, 25Watt bulbs
from the supply with some kind of dimmer so as not to blind everyone and to
give the garden a nice atmosphere!

Does anyone have any suggetions how I can take the 24V AC feed from a
torrodial and create a variable voltage ~4Amp supply for the lights?

Thanks,
Matthew

I would use a seperate transformer for the lights with a full wave
dimmer on the primary.
