I've seen cheap lamps that use a switch that will select 'diode' or 'direct' to give you 'low light' or 'full light'.
I searched through my parts box looking for one with 2x the amp rating (> 7 amps) and 2x the volt rating (> 220 volt), couldn't find it, so I settled for a 100 volt, 5 amp diode. So far, it's working...
