Thanks for your reply. That's a great idea. I was considering putting a wireless dimmer just on the light portion of this and it would be controlled by a remote and would be installed within the ceiling box or within the light fixture itself. Is this what you mean? Just to reiterate the...

Unfortunately running two 110Vrms circuits isn't an option for me. The intention is that this would be going into already finished homes where the wiring is already finished and the expense of adding another line is not really feasible for most people. I'm trying to come up with another...

That's interesting. I should research that a bit further. On your previous post you mentioned: "If it weren't for the UL approval issue, it would be pretty easy to add a rectification stage input to the power converter to store the input energy on a capacitor for the 12Vdc output converter."...

"So basically you want a 110Vrms/12Vdc converter that is well behaved while the 110Vrms duty cycle is varied by a typical SCR/PWM dimmer switch. Ideally, the 12Vdc output would remain steady over some PWM range, say 100% to 25%, and the 12Vdc would drop to 0Vdc below that to just smoothly stop...

Thanks very much for your informative response. For the most part I think you understand what it is I'm trying to do. I don't want an SCR/PWM module. I don't really care about controlling the motor speed as this is not may intention at all. It's a 1 rpm motor and I'd like it to stay at this...

Sorry, I don't know what you mean where it comes from? I can send you a specific link to the product I'm using to convert 12V to 110V. https://lightsandparts.com/products/veroboard-12v-1a-12w-non-dimmable-led-driver-vbd-012-012nd

Thanks for your reply. I wrote about that in the post. I'll just put that part in quotes below and than elaborate on it: "Just to clarify why I'm going about it this way. Initially I was just going to use an AC 110 V motor so it would all be on AC. The problem was getting UL approval because...

I have a question regarding a light fixture I'm building that also has a motor in it. It has geometric shapes that spin slowly around the light (almost like a mobile) and this is what I'm using the motor for. The light fixture will be attached to the ceiling like any normal light fixture or...
