How do you set a dimmer to 80-84? From the pictures of dimmers I see all i see is an on and off button...

That is the one i use, it has a little knob and you move it from very low to very high, you just have to monitor things with a thermometer to make sure your getting accurate readings.

Lowes has dimmers in the lamp section.

I use this with no problems....Keeps you from waiting on shipping, and those zoomeds at a retail store are a little high priced.

You can use it with whatever you like. It all works the same in the end.
