I have just got hold of this Varilight Dimmer switch and want it to control GU10 mains 50W downlights. Dimmer rated at 400W max
I have been told by an electrician I need to halve the max rating when using mains halogen. So I can only have a load of 200W (4 x 50w) max on this dimmer. I need 6 lights.
The instructions say the dimmer is suitable for GU10 downlights up to max rating on back of switch; 400W (8 x 50W).
Now which one do I go by?
