To be brutally honest, dim light bulb tester is not even a poor man's variac, it is.....everything in me speaks against it.

A small 500VA variac is not expensive and it is all you will ever need.
Having an isolating transformer helps safety. Also not a bank-breaker.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
