Light dimmer circuit using DIAC and TRIAC

Light dimmer circuit is using to adjust the illumination of lamp. The below circuit shows the basic TRIAC
triggering circuit using DIAC. Here in this circuit the light illumination is controlled using TRIAC and DIAC.

Working:

The resister and capacitor are connected in series. The capacitor is made to charge through the 500K
resistor. When the capacitor starts charging and when it reaches above the breakover voltage of DIAC, it
starts conducting. Hence capacitor voltage is applied to TRIAC gate and it turns-on. The charging of the
capacitor can be controlled by the variable resistor. Which indirectly controls the firing delay of TRIAC.

You can do this circuit and vary the illumination of the bulb
