Dim & Dimmer

[RichA]

I have purchased an Undershelf Spotlight Kit (3 X 20W):

Which is to be wired to the 2 gang switch plate by the kitchen door that will also opperate the ceiling lights.

Will these lights/transformer work with a dimmer? Such as:

Many thanks for your help,

The transformer as got to be a dimable one, so you need to check that out. Also you will need to calculate the wattage of lights and see if the dimmer that you have can dim the wattage of the lights that you have.

E.g. If you hav 50 w of lights the dimmer needs to be able to dim 100w you basically double it. there are numerous posts on this website which talk about dimable transformers and wattage calculations.

Hope this has helped
