Lighting Transformer

Lighting transformers are, just as the name implies, transformers that are specifically utilized to work with lighting. They are typically referred to as dimmer switches. By using the ability of a transformer to alter the voltage going through a circuit, a light can be made brighter or dimmer.

Lighting transformers are used in a variety of different applications, not just for brightening and dimming lights. Essentially, because they do allow the voltage across a line to be varied, they can used for any number of applications where voltage does have to be changed a bit to accommodate various devices.

For example, lighting transformers are sometimes used on small electric motors to provide a way to speed up or slow down the motor, as needed. Lighting transformers are quite often used in households, however, to do exactly what the name implies and provide variable lighting from the same light fixtures.
