Small line voltage dimmer to fit inside 1-1/2 inch ID copper pipe?
I'm planning a new copper pipe lamp, but can't find a reliable >=100W dimmer small enough to fit inside a 1-1/2 inch ID copper pipe AND has the knob stick out at the end through an end cap. A torchiere dimmer fits but the knob sticks out on the side, not the end. So far I found only one that fits that way inside a 2" pipe. Any suggestions would be very welcome!
There are some small dimmers around that claim to be 100W or so, but use a teeny tiny triac that is way too fragile and many users report those dimmers die within hours or weeks.

It has been years since I searched through our set of Thomas Register Catalogs and now see they are called ThomasNet. ThomasNet® - Product Sourcing and Supplier Discovery Platform
No idea how good of a source they will be but we used to find many needed items there. I've even asked some who didn't have what I needed for advice and often found very helpful people.
They are a registry of manufacturers.
