So ....
instead of my talking anymore ... please ... everyone open up the

attachment of this email. THIS .... is what I saw on the scope
output of
the triac dimmer. The arrows indicate what moves as I dim the
lamps up
and
down. The overall wave doesn't shift ... but that vertical line
(indicated
by the arrows) ... shifts left and right.
As the area under the curve varies ... so does the intensity of the
lamps.
I thought a picture might settle this.
