Yep, only variac seem to slow the fan rather then pulse, from all the stuff I have read. The pulsing is what causes the hum with the non variac type. The pulsing is just turning the fan on and off very quickly.

Hi all just an update. I purchased the str 1.5a variac from fantronix. I agree with the buy cheap pay twice as i purchased an all in one tent kit and realise now that the fan is not strong enough and needs an upgrade hence the need for the speed controller. My first impressions were, "this thing is huge, where is this going to go" and "its pretty weighty". Wiring it up was pretty straight forward. You need to know how to wire a plug and plug socket in order to wire this.
Is it effective, yes it is. At night i can turn it to 1 and sleep. The loudest items in the tent are now the led light fan and regular fan. I've already purchased a new led fan and will fit in due course.
Thanks again.

This fan controller thing has always puzzled me i bought a cheap plug in type for my 8" hurricane 1,000 m3/h and one or two of the guys here on the talk said don't use that it will blow your fan and i'm not sure if it was in the specs or if i contacted the supplier and they said this fan should not be dimmed !!!! so i am lost at this topic, G'.
