Yeah, like i said 14.99 is too costly for a diy project when you can get controllers from hydro shops for 20.00.

So, what is this shit you have posted in my thread? Was it meant to help me because it hasn't, maybe you should of explained what the jargon meant.

Anyway, i have wired a dimmer up to the fan and can control as i want to.
