A circuit for controlling the power delivered to a load from an alternating current source includes a bridge rectifier coupled to the alternating current source for developing full and half-wave rectified signals in response thereto. The full and half-wave rectified signals are algebraically added to form a reference signal which is applied to one input of a comparator, the other input comprising an adjustable direct current control signal. The output of the comparator comprises a pulse width modulated signal which is used to control the state of a switching transistor connected in series with the load between the rectifier node developing the full-wave rectified signal and a point of reference potential.
