Reply with quote Thanks

i have just fitted 9 x 50W mains voltage spotlights, and cannot find a dimmer switch with a rating over 400W. the only ones i can find are the \\\'touch \\\' type dimmers. does anyone know if the normal (chrome) type dimmers, with the turning knob, exist, and know where i can obtain one?? icon_confused.gif

second that bald electrician, just fitted one on friday. quite pricey.

you could bring the lamps down to 35w each if your not so concerned about light??

just another option
