Don't some dimmers use the frequency? I remember using one of those flourescent bulbs in a dimmer and it wouldnt work because the dimmer itself would just flicker the thing off and on. The more you turned the dimmer up the faster that blink would go.
Dc blower that I looked at requires 9amps which might kill a psu over time. The 110 volt I could wire up along with my pump with ease.
