   Hi,   
      
   We have a swamp cooler and it is getting close to the time to put it into   
   daily service. When the 1/2hp fan motor switches from Low to High, or High to   
   Low, there s a short delay and then it starts up again. All good since it is a   
   two-speed motor.   
      
   But when it starts each time the lights in the house momentarily dim, so I am   
   wondering if it is possible to buy a soft-start whatever and wire it in   
   between the motor and controller.   
      
   Last year I asked on groups about the swamp and dimming lights, but no one   
   mentioned a soft start, but instead suggested I get the wiring checked. Got an   
   Electrician in and he gave the entire house a clean bill of health. No   
   surprise really, the guy who    
   built the house was an Electrician in the Navy for thirty years.   
      
   I checked Amazon and can find nothing, but Wiki mentions them for three-phase   
   motors.   
      
   Thoughts?
