Do you mean 'lighting'?
If yes, the TRIAC is the most common way.

   Best to use 'zero crossing' triacs.  This will minimize
power dissipated in that triac.

For home lightning control, mount at least one lightning rod on the roof of the
house, and use cable to get a good earth ground.

For home lighting control of incandescents, most controls use triacs.

Good luck either way.
