I'm sure the answer is either current or voltage. Other than that I have no idea how to answer this question.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Understanding Light Dimmers: Changing Current & Voltage
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the operation of light dimmers, specifically those that use a rotary knob to adjust brightness. It is established that these dimmers primarily alter the voltage in the circuit to achieve the dimming effect. The participants emphasize the importance of understanding the relationship between voltage and current in this context. A resource link is provided for further exploration of light dimmer technology.
