Dimmer 調光器
The device that varies power to a lighting load. A generation ago every stage light lived on a dimmer channel; now most fixtures dim themselves and dimmers survive for tungsten, practicals and houselights, with "hot power" (constant circuits) doing the rest.
中文
控制燈具電力的設備。以前每盞燈都行 dimmer channel;而家大部分燈自己調光,dimmer 留返俾鎢絲燈、道具燈同觀眾席燈,其餘行常火。
