try a normal switch on it that will eliminate the dimmer being faulty.

you are missing the point of the discussion, its not the number of lights its the design. spot lights are designed to shine a spot of light to highlight an area, even with wider beam angles that is all they will do. whereas fluorescents and tungsten lights provide a more overall light.

you need to be sure that a permanent live is available at the ceiling rose not just a switched live. I went to a job a while back and the client was complaining that there was something wrong with the smokes because the battery's were not lasting. I discovered that they were connected to a...
