Hi
I have a mains wall light which has ten 10 watt halogen bulbs on it
and it says on the back its 0-105W.
Is it possible to connect a dimmer switch to this light without havin
to include a transformer.
If i can what sort of dimmer switch would you recommend?

Many thanks
Bre

Bren:
If it has an inline transformer, you'll hear buzzing when you try to
dim it, and it won't be a smooth dim. I don't recommend it because
you'll burn out the transformer. The new halogens don't have the big
inline transformers and you can dim these directly.

good luck, tim1198

Ive never had a problem with regular dimmers sold even on transformers.

Not much of a good answer, but I would suggest that you check with the
makers of the lighting system.
