Dave,

Just finished assembling the 12VAC light controller we (the list in
general) discussed at length a couple of weeks ago, using the two MOSFETs
for AC switching.  Works like a charm!  I have not had a chance to put
some serious load on it, but that will come later when I have time.  I
ended up using IRLZ34 MOSFETs as Digi-Key was out of the 2SK parts.

It's just too cool...  I did end up using PWM to ramp the lights on and
off with about a 2 second transition period.  I'm sure the neighbors won't
notice, but *I* will always get a kick out of seeing the yard lights turn
on and off.  Geez, I need a life!  8-)

I'll be posting the code & schematics when I get it all cleaned up, maybe
a week or so.  Might even take some pictures.

Dale
