==== Lightswitch Dimmers ====
=== My Lightswitch Dimmer of the late 1970th ===
  *"50 340/41/43/45", "10 A 250V", "220V ~+/- 10%, 50 Hz 200W 0.9A".
  *230V input "P", 230V output "~/".
  *Fuse "1 A flink".
  *In my flat:
    *In 2 rooms, the red and black cables to connect to a lightswitch come from top. So I have to disregard a black cable from bottom.
    *Wireing "Ausschaltung".
=== The Lamp operated by the Lightswitch Dimmer ===
  *The Lamp operated by the Lightswitch Dimmer, since 2020-11, has a "Globe" light bulb.
=== Resources ===
