Default light fader recommendations for studio rooms?


$100? that's crazy for a switch! I guess I'll settle for a simple
switch. Is there nothing else?

You want a Variac.

You'll need to find a real electrical supply house to buy one. Most of
the "home improvement" stores sell only the SCR dimmers, which make
acoustic as well as electrical noise and are bad news for a studio. A
Variac will cost you about $100 brand new but people seem to sell them
for about half that on eBay.
