Hi,

I am looking to replace a 3 gang dimmer switch but I am unsure on how to choose the correct one.

On the the 3 gang switch a mixture of 5 watt and 6.5 watt LEDs are being used
Switch 1 - 6 lights
Switch 2 - 6 lights
Switch 3 - 4 lights

The light holder fixture shows 100watt light bulb can be used.

When looking for the replacement light switch I am not sure what wattage I should be purchasing. How do I work this out? Please help.

Just add the wattage on the actual lamps, say 2 of 5w and 2 of 6.5w would total 23watt, so the dimmer needs to be capable of dimming at least 23 watts of LED.
This needs to be done for each of the 3 modules
The lamps also need to be dimmable, though sometimes dimming them is not always straightforward
