This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Tried converting a story from TIFU to greentext because I'm bored at work.

I saved a Gimp Template while working on it: https://files.catbox.moe/ipnjzk.xcf

I doubt they're all that complex. It's probably something like a relay for the light, plus an analogue chip to control the dimming, which is likely completely separate from the digital logic (remote, motor control, etc).

I wouldn't expect OP to know anything about circuits though, but I do expect the bare minimum educated guess that a dim light isn't likely a bad fan and is either a bad bulb or a setting somewhere, because a light going dim because on an electrical problem is incredibly unlikely.
