Hello everyone, I'd like your thoughts please.
I'm going to design a garden lighting system that will control a number of 12V AC GU5.3 dichroic lamps. I want to fade up/down a number of these lamps and I'm trying to think of the best way to do it. At present, I'm thinking of using a microcontroller to drive a number of triacs by way of zero-crossing opto-isolators. Does anyone have any suggestions on a better way of controlling the lamps?
Any suggestions appreciated.
