Abstract
This paper will show the problems encountered in using silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCR) as control devices to vary the light output of tungsten lamp loads such as are commonly used in theater or studio stage lighting. A particular application using magnetic amplifier control of the SCR will be discussed as a lamp dimmer.
