dimmer switch

[brendonavoo69]

Hi
I have a mains wall light which has ten 10 watt halogen bulbs on it, and it says on the back its 0-105W.
Is it possible to connect a dimmer switch to this light without having to include a transformer.
If i can what sort of dimmer switch would you recommend?

Many thanks
Bren

any of the master dimmers listed on the link above will do. remote control too top quality stuff by varilight, will work with any light within the wattage ranges stated.

But pretty much any dimmer switch will do, unless the light takes 12V lamps.

Thanks for you help

yeah its 12V, looking at the spare lamps mentioned there. Those varilight dimmers should do the trick. Otherwise you will be looking around for trailing edge/leading edge transformer specifications, the varilight ones will control pretty much anything. B&Q sell them too.

Very nice fitting. Shame about the website:
