Heating regulation for cheap skates.

[MarkS]

As an electrician I kinda cringe at tape around wire nuts, wire nuts should have spring pressure on the wires to hold them together, its not just a cap, it's bad practice to have tape around them. Also we tend to put switches and dimmers on the hot side (smooth side) as general practice, just so when the switch/dimmer is off, there is no potential at the device. Electrically however it doesn't matter.

Besides that, very inexpensive but professional looking dimmer. Very nice sir.

Thanks for that info, I didn't know that tape around wire nuts was a no no. I've just always done it that way figuring it was more secure and harder to pull the nuts off the wire. It's good to know that the smooth side is hot, I've always wondered which was which and I never could find the answer. It would make more sense to regulate the hot side.
