My wife and i have been installing downlighters in upstairs bedroom, we were both in the loft and my wife was sitting close to the insulation wool while wireing the lights and is complaining of a sore arse and says that it has fine peices of glass wedged into her skin which has come up as a...

Yes the dimmers are halogen rated and can use mains halogen bulbs GU10`s but not wirewound low voltage lighting transformers. Can you tell me if i can use a 13amp unswitched fused connection unit instead of a 5 amp.

Crafty1289 thanks for your help so far mate, ive now decided to stick with the 50w halogens with dimmers, im going to use 9 downlighters in the large part of the lounge and 5 downlighters in the small part of the lounge 14 in all. The dimmer i have bought is a Varilight 3 gang 2 way (3 x...
