I am building an airing cupboard. Since we have instant hot water I have no cylinder to make use of. A mate suggested I use a heated towel rail and control the temperature of the towel rail via a dimmer switch, to save money and stop overheating in confined space.
I have the following:
1 heated towel rail rated: 65Watts
1 dimmer switch rated: Max load: 500Watts(incandescant), 400Watts (dichroic), Min load: 75Watts, Rated 500VA
Again my mate suggestes the load of 65MW being less than min load of 75Watts should be no problem and will be 100% safe, is this true?
Not that I don't trust my mate but a second opinion is always re-assuring.
Replies appreciated.
