FYI - I posted two Schematic drawings of Triac type lamp dimmers in the Technical Reference area, which should help explain things better, along with showing some simple techniques of "Solid State" AC Lamp dimming control.

Look under subject heading:
AC Incandescent Lamp Dimmer Circuits 1

Hope they are helpful to everyone!
