I have 6x50watt Halogen bulbs installed that I want to run off a dimmer switch,they are mains fed.Would a 400watt dimmer switch be ok to use for this.

You need to derate the dimmer by about 50% when dimming halogens.

IE 300W = 450W. So need a dimmer that can handle 450W.

TLC do one on a single white plate that can handle 1kW.
