| We've recycled our patch panel! It's now a Light Lab... |
| | |
| This is a patch panel. Sort of looks like an old telephone operator's plug board |  |
| . Each vertical line of holes, 5 each, are wired to one dimmer |  |
| Here we can see all the circuits waiting to be used. These wires are connected to the circuits in the electric pipes. |  |
| Now this is an antique! A "Solitrol" rack of dimmers. On the left are the actual dimmer modules. Each has: a circuit breaker, indicator lights, trim pots and a handle. |  |
| This is one of the dimmers. On the left is one of the heat sinks. On the right we have the electronics of the dimmer. |  |
| Here's a close up of the front panel of three of the dimmers. The dimmer room was very dark and the flash washed out the details on the dimmer. Sorry. |  |
| This is the back of the rack. This cabinet is almost seven feet tall holding only 30 dimmers. |  |
