Default Dimmers For Low Voltahe Halogens

The Question Asker wrote:

Hi,
Was wondering if its possible to fit a dimmer to low voltage lights with a
transformer. Was looking for a remote control one, but keep reading that its
not possible to use one but have read a few post about them being used
what's the correct procedure.
Cheers
Oli




Yews its possible, and I have done it.

I used stansdard dimmers and electrionic transformers that were sold as
'dimmer capable' and indeed they are.
I believe its also possible to get dinmers that will handle the load f a
toroidla transformer as well. But no one seemd to give me a definite YES
when I asked, so I didn't use toroids - which I prefer cos they buzz
less, and are probably more simple and roubust creatures.
