Cheap is the wrong description. Crazy might be a more apt one. If that dimmer switch you are using happens to fail, and they do, especially the ones that sell for $2.99 you could have 110 killer volts in your hands. How smart an idea is that? NEVER USE A DIMMER SWITCH WITHOUT A STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER. Never that is unless you like tempting fate.
