David Nebenzahl spake thus:

Client wants to install some low-voltage halogens with a dimmer. Is
this OK? I know the dimmer will work, since the lamps are a resistive
load [...]

Doh! What was I thinking? *Not* a resistive load (transformer,
remember?) Never mind.

(Although I have successfully used ordinary dimmers with transformers
for some of my own projects, like a homebrew resistance soldering unit,
I'd never install one in anyone else's house.)
