For some reason I can't see your attachment, so can't offer help with the circuit, but would suggest you have a look here http://members.misty.com/don/bulb1.html for information about dimming halogens, which aren't like normal filament bulbs. The halogen cycle was covered in a thread some time ago and will be in the archives hth -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.
