Those who have had trouble with LV lighting after fitting a dimmer switch may find this interesting.
I recently bought a couple of dimmer switches suitable for electronic transformers but when fitted, the lamps flickered at certain settings, accompanied by a buzzing from the switch. After double checking the trannies were dimmable, I rang the manufacturers who told me to try connecting a tungsten lamp across the 240 side of the tranny. She (yes, she!) told me that if it worked I'd need a load resistor connected the same way and she would send me a couple. It worked! The resistors are 4K7, 25 watt items available from RS, Maplin etc. The idea is to use one per switch to smooth out the flickering and reduce the buzzing. Not an ideal solution, but it may get you out of trouble, rather than swapping trannies and/or dimmers. I rang the tranny manufacturers who told me that the switch makers change their specs occasionally so that a dimmer that is perported to work ok with a particular tranny one week may in fact not be compatable the next.
Hope this is of some use to you.
