Default Halogen Lamp Problem

Hi,

Just take the dimmer out and wire the bulb straight to the supply.

If you just want some 'mood lighting' then a dimmed high power halogen
is a very inefficient way to go.

Dimming a 300W halogen just creates a ~250W infra red heater that lets
out a bit of light too.

cheer,
Pete.
