I already have a general idea of how a dimbulb tester works, I just wanted some instructions on how to get my variac going so I could use it in the future, because I've never owned or used a variac before let alone wire one up from scratch before so that's why a little help would be nice in getting me started on wiring up my variac and getting running properly.
