Dilema

Is it possible to use a non standard dimmer switch for proprietary 10w Kitchen Unit Downlighters that are almost always situated under the wall mounted units.

Fitting a normal dimmer made them strobe (quickly switched them off before any damage and they work with normal light switch). I now understand that a dimmer has a minimum rating which precludes all the dimmers I've sourced.

I am told that Caravan or Boating dimmers could be a possiblity, but have had no luck. Can't imagine them coming in brushed steel finish even.

Any ideas???

Thanks in advance
