Apparatuses, systems, and methods for controlling electrical power for lighting loads

A method for generating feedback signaling for controlling an amount of power provided from an alternating current (AC) power source to an electrical load, the method comprising:

• turning on dimmer circuitry and generating a load power signal provided to a load;
• generating a feedback signal for controlling any of a voltage value, a timing, and a rate of change of a voltage applied to a gate of a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET);
• and
• controlling a transition through a threshold voltage of the MOSFET gate according to the feedback signal.

A method for dimmer circuitry controlling an alternating current (AC) power signal provided to an electrical load, the method comprising:

• converting, by the dimmer circuitry, the AC power signal into a load power signal consumed by the electrical load;
• providing a feedback signal, generated by feedback circuitry, for controlling a switching timing used by the dimmer circuitry converting the AC power signal into the load power signal;
• and
• varying a voltage applied to a gate terminal of a transistor included in the dimmer circuitry according to the feedback signal;
• wherein the voltage applied to the gate terminal switches on and off the AC power signal flowing between source and drain terminals of the transistor.
