Re: [APD] Hush hush pump, fan

[Derek Parr <derekparr at earthlink_net>]

I have a fan speed controller that fits into one of my drive bays thats 
consistes of 4 dials.  How different they are from house grade light 
dimmers I don't know.  But would be interested to hear the answer.
Anyone?  Does voltage make a difference for dimmers?
