Dimmer-O-Rama

[Lorenzo M. Oliver]

Here is a project I did for holiday lighting. I was trying to "approximate the features" of a light-o-rama controller (which are great devices by the way, I'd highly recommend them if you have $$$ to burn for holiday fun).

The dimmer-o-rama makes use of 3 of these dimmer-controllers from EFX-TEK attached in a daisy chain (if budget allows, I'll add another 4 channels this year).

I managed to get 12 channels of output into 6 outlet pairs by "breaking away" the tab between the two outlets (this is a standard feature on outlets by the way) so that each of the outlets is independently
