Hi,
We are planning a new extension and I have been speaking to a fe people in shops about spot lights.
At one shop, I was told that it is better to have mains halogen spo lights with a dimmer as they last longer than the low voltag transformer type.
At another shop, they told me that their lights use high qualit individual transformers which have a three year warranty and tha halogen low voltage bulbs do not blow as much as the the high voltag type?
The person at the first shop also said that a special inductive loa dimmer switch has to be used with transformer lights whereas, at th second shop they said any dimmer switch will work with thei transformers?
I would have thought that the mains spot lights with a good qualit slow-start dimmer are less likely to blow than the low voltage types.
Can anyone clarify this and share their experience of both types?
Thanks
