| Feb 6, 2018 at 9:08 | comment | added | DiBosco | Google how to use a triac as a light (or lamp) dimmer. You'll find umpteen articles about it. Then, when you have a specific question about it, someone will help you. :) I'd be more worried about electrocuting myself than damaging an Arduino! | |
| Feb 6, 2018 at 8:18 | comment | added | Fahad | Sure, I believe that's something we use for safety purposes only by isolating low power side from the high power side. But my question is about the feasibility of controlling light intensity through Arduino output voltage, and how the circuit will look like | |
