Dimmer switch?

Question

Is it possible to use a dimmer switch on the lights that i have installed they are 20w low voltage halogen lamps, and there are 6 fitted. Supply is from 2 , 60w transformers

Answer 1

Yes.

Answer 2

Dimmers work by having a larger available voltage range supplied than what is supplied by a step down transformer.

The dimmer and lights would have to be specially designed to work with one another.A normal dimmer's potentiometer would not be rated to use the low voltage.

Answer 3

No, sorry

Answer 4

Not at the moment but new type of bulbs are coming on the market shortly that will enable this.

They may be in certain outlets now.
