Logic Level Triac

and... sorry the voltage on the gate is 3.3vdc

I'd suggest you use an opt-triac to drive a triac for best protection and ease of use.

The MOC3041 works very well, just follow the data sheet. Use a zero cross type for best results.

Agreed... after further consideration I did choose to opto isolate that with an MOC and it's working perfectly.
