Hi
A simple question I think for a more knowledgeable person than me...
I've got 17 (yes seventeen - I didn't put them in) mr16 spotlights in my bedroom, controlled by 3 separate switches (8,7 and 2 lights on 2 way switching between 3 dimmers and 3 on/off switches).
I have replaced all the 50w bulbs with 20w bulbs, and now want to consolidate down to having all lights on a single dimmer and on/off switch connected for 2 way switching. The wiring changes in the loft are simple for me to achieve this, but...
Is there a limit on the number of mr16s I can have being controlled by a single siwtch?
I already know I'll need a 500w dimmer to build in the 25% latency I need - but apart from that, will I be OK?
I was just wondering if there were any resistance considerations for that many bulbs/transformers, or anything else that would hold me back - I hope not!!!
Thank you!!!
