Dopey question of the day....

Are mains halogen lights dimmable (using a standard light dimmer)?


Yes you can, but make sure you leave plenty of headroom on rating -
e.g. don't run 5x50W lamps from a 250W dimmer - use a 400W dimmer
instead.

Even better, use a quality dimmer with soft start such as an MK4500
series and the bulb lives will be increased substantially.
