How fast are generic Radio Shack triacs for switching 110v 60Hz current =
to...say...a 150Watt incandecsent light bulb.

When the triac is enabled, where on the AC wave form will it turn on? =
Anywhere?

How about turning off, as I recall, the AC needs to cross zero for a =
triac to turn off?

Thanks for any help. I am in a real pickle here. Got caught BSing  on a =
forum and need to do some damage control. ; )
