Wow! 400W of lighting in your kitchen. Hope you don't live on a low
lying island. Apart from the global warming caused, this will cost
about 30-60 pounds a year to run, before the cost of bulbs is
considered, (they will be likely to pop on a regular basis).


Ooops, I thought it was 80W total for the Cabinet Lights, not
160W!

The plan was to use dimmers to control the light. Also unlikely
that both sets would be on at the same time. Problem is that
someone mentioned that dimmers may not work, so sort of
stuck now.

So if dimmers are out of the questions might just use 3 switch

the garden light switch eleswhere or just go for a 4 switch
