You can try, but most Regular dimmers require a load of at least 40watts for them to work properly.
You will probably need to change the dimmer for one compatible with the LED. Varilights V-PRO seem to work well.
Both circuits are controlled by the same physical dimmer (it has two dimmer knobs). One currently has 1 incandescent e27 on it and the other has eight 35 watt GU10 halogen downlights.
I am going to order the one e27 led dimmable and see if it works in the circuit. For the others, I have the pictured fittings. Or those mr16? I don't know.
In any case, if I were to go full LED, I have to alter these, or is the switch the only thing I have to alter?
The back? I just pulled the plate off and there was nothing written there, so I assume you mean on the back of the entire dimmer (i.e. I need to unscrew it out). I am big scaredy cat when it comes to things like this.
I have read that the best way to figure this out is to just try the bulb as it if it doesn't work it won't damage the bulb or the circuit..
MR 16 is the size of the lamp, or actually the multifacited reflector. Your GU10 lamps are most likely MR16 size. The 16 is 16/8 "or 2 inches diameter.
