A switching circuit is comprised of a triac in series with the electrical load across an AC power source. The triac commences to conduct only after a unidirectional, gate-controlled SCR is conducting. Conduction of the SCR drives the gate of the triac enabling conduction. In turn, the SCR is controlled by a circuit network which regulates the potential at the SCR gate and is responsive to an external device which may be a photodetector and movable shutter in combination with a light-emitting diode (LED). Load conduction commences in synchronism with the source voltage crossing of the reference axis in a selected direction. When the load is turned off, an integral cycle is provided.
