MSP power source from 230 V

Hi all,

I want to make a MSP430 based dimmer with IR control. I know there is a lot of solutions but I want to add a couple functions.

How can I provide power to MSP? I have two wires: L and N (with bulb of course). When light is off everything is ok, because I have power source, when light is on I have no power. 

MSP is low current consumption device but if I use TRIAC or IR detector I need more current.

I'm sure there are popular solutions I don't know.

Best regards,

Mikolaj
