I found this circuit on the web build it and it worked but when first turned on with the control all the way in the low position the bulb lights up very dim, which is good, but there is a flicker. When I turn the control up the bulb brightens and the flicker eventually goes away. By and large if functions fine but I'd like to get rid of that turn on flicker.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. The Diac and Triac are ones I had and not the ones mentioned in the original schematic. The circuit was originally meant to control a soldering iron.
