Re: Question on Variac lighting
Original poster: "D.C. Cox" <resonance@xxxxxxxxxx>
Your sparkgap is set too wide or your power xmfr does not have enough 
power to recharge the cap fast enough.  You need more mA of drive 
current or set your sparkgap closer together.  If using nsts just add 
another xmfr in parallel and you will have enough current to run it smoothly.

RUN anylower than......52%
