this is to dim some halogen wall lights.

However, in the instructions that come with it, it says it should only
be used with Halogen lights that include a fuse.

Mine don't.

Can I add one? Should I add one? What sort? The instructions suggest
that when a bulb fails, that'll be the end of the dimmer!

I was thinking about adding an in-line fuse behind each lamp holder
(very fiddly to replace), or one in the back of the light switch
(easier). Ideally of course I'd add a fuse to one slot in the MK Grid
panel that the dimmer sits in - but all slots are currently in use.

Any suggestions?

You forgot to mention whether theyre mains or 12v halogens. The 2 are
quite different animals, and the resulting advice also different.
