I have a very large room which i want to put 11x mains downlights in.
The lights need to be able to be dimmed, If i go for 35w bulbs and split the circuits into 2 i could have 5 x 35w = 175W and 6 x 35w =210W
But i can only find the double dimmer switch in the chrome i want in 2x 250w max configuration
Which although will cover the wattage i require i have not derated the dimmer for the halogens, is this still necessary with modern dimmers?
I dont really want any more than 2 circuits. Any help will be appriciated.
Cheers, Adam
