In this project I used a 10k potentiometer because that is what I had on hand. But I would normally use a 5k potentiometer like this one on amazon

Technical Notes and Corrections here.

The switch is drawn in as being on the neutral side. It is actually on the hot side. You could also use a switch to break both sides of the circuit for those who want some extra safety 👍

Final Note:

PLEASE UNDERSTAND...I receive hundreds of messages on all platforms (email, Facebook, comments etc) asking for advice, and help with projects. At this volume, I simply can't do one on one advice. I do read all the questions, and if I get the same ones over and over I make videos about it to help lots of people. Thanks for your understanding on this.
