Hi, just wanted to check what my options are with dimmer switches.
We just moved house, and in the previous house we had chandeliers in the bedroom and lounge which used normal candle bulbs. The switches we had were remote & touch timmers - they perfectly suited our lazy lifestyle as we could turn the lights off from bed, and dim the lights when watching movies on TV.
The problem we're having is finding light fittings compatible with the dimmer in our new place. They all seem to use halogen bulbs like G4 or GU10. Can either of these be dimmed using a normal dimmer, or do i need to replace the unit? Are there remote controlled dimmers which can be used with low voltage lights?
