Default No more blinding tacky lights

Got a bit bored and needed a quick, cheap project. $20 at Home Depot and and old PC power cord (I liked this one because it was really long) and I had myself a tacky light dimmer.

Because I got the cheapest dimmer in the store, I find it works best if the lights are plugged in, then plug the dimmer box into the trailer. I guess the dimmer thingy doesn't like to be unloaded.

I got the weather resistant box to put it in, and sealed a bit with silicone, but I don't think for a minute the device is outdoor rated.

Wiring the thing up should be fairly obvious to members of this form.

No more blinding awning lights...so romantic, just me and the wife...
