Working on an urgent project of a light dimmer that starts low and the gets brighter in 4 steps. 5% glow then 20% then 50% then 80% or even gradually still good.. I found the circuit below at this great website.
My question is, the light power I need is 3000 Watt. Can I simply replace the Triac with a bigger power like BTA41-600V ? or do I need to make other changes on the circuit ?
