Kit build: AC light dimmer

Time for a nice easy relaxing kit build.

This is a dimmer for incandescent lights running from mains voltage.
It's the circuit that is at the core of decades of dimmer switch es that were common before residential lighting moved on to compact fluorescent and LED.

And at it's core, it's only 5 components. I did say it is an easy kit.

This isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.

But it's how I do it.
