Default Question On Lighting - ???

I'm trying to replace a light dimmer switch - it controls 8x 60W bulbs -
there may be another lamp on the circuit but if so, it is sealed up in the
ceiling and unused now. The current dimmer switch is a Slater 2000W (!!)
switch - I'm having a devil of a time replacing it and it occurs to me that
I may not need one able to handle that kind of wattage. Am I correct in the
assumption that I would be able to fall down to a 600W or so dimmer switch?
Or am I playing games with my lighting? And in addition - what IS the
general opinion on regular incandescent bulbs on dimmer switches? Any
feelings on the whole "singing bulbs" thing? Thanks for any assistance with
this!
