My friend & I were debating about this..and I completely understand what you mean but if the same amount of power is consistently going thru the dimmer switch, then why am I getting such major fluctuations in temps? The temp in my room isn't that wacky, I have no heat or air on, no windows open either. My guess is there's some kind of dimmer switch gnome that's effing with me!
