What happens if I plug my LED Christmas tree lights (120v) into an 
incandescent dimmer switch?  I need an in-line on/off switch for the 
lights and the only thing I've got handy is a couple of sliding dimmer 
switches I used to use to control some large incandescent floods for 
photography.  I don't need to actually dim the LEDs but it would be nice 
to use the in-line on/off switch that's part of the dimmer control.

Seems to me like it should work OK.  I assume the dimmer switch is made 
with something like a Triac which I think is just a variable frequency 
on/off switch.
