Touch dimmer for LV circuit

[fathertobe]

I've got three sets of lights in my living/dining room.

1) 6 x 50W LV Halogen
2) 4 x 50W LV Halogen
3) 1 x normal mains wall light

I've currently got a normal 3G Dimmer switch on these but I'd like to replace it with a 3G touch dimmer - that can be controlled by remote.

The transformers used on the LV lighting are all these (max 60V):

I'm looking at these dimmers http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/VLIS1403.html

I realise for rating I have to add up the transformers rather than the bulbs so in my case I have a max of 6x50W on each gang so need a minimum of a 300W model. Am I correct here?

Next up it says max five transformers per circuit - I've got six on one. Is this a killer? And if so, does anyone know of any other products that might help me?

Or has anyone got any experience of putting these kinds of things in?

Don't worry; I'll be getting an electrician to do the hard/dangerous work. But like to know what's going on myself, first.

Thanks.

Do as the manufacturer recommends.

Done to limit problems with inrush currents and problematic circulating harmonic currents.
