This dimmer can operate two Mini Cools and can dim from full on to off. It has an indicator on board to let the user know the percentage of dimming and the Kelvin temperature at that percentage.

Comments about Cool-Lux LC-7150 500 Watt AC Photo Dimmer:
Very useful on set, for most any brand of tungsten light at/below 500w. Much more control over exposure. And just can't beat the price.
Because it's a sliding control, it means you have a wide range of options for light intensity. Watch out for lights making a humming sound (my Lowel Omni does that sometimes); and watch out for color temperature change when dimming (on some lights).
But that's not the fault of the dimmer.
I gave it 4 stars because it's only a 2-prong receptacle, you'll need a 2-to-3 prong adapter. Not a dealbreaker (in fact, only an extra $3).
