Hi guys, We have a ceiling light which uses 24 x 25W bulbs, I'd like to change the wall switch for a dimmer, is the power consumption of this light going to cause problems? Thanks. Jerry

You need a dimmer that can handle 600Watts (24*25 =600W)
Such dimmers are available

sheesh, what u need that many, power eaters. Ouch
Thanks Adam. Much appreciated. Jerry
600W! Sheesh that's going to help global warming. Depends on the dimmer, if it says it can handle a 600 W load then it should be ok. You may find that a lot don't though.
One thing to check.... are they 230v bulbs, or low voltage, via transformer(s)?
230V. The seller described them as 24 x 10 watt, so we were unprepared for the heat and power consumption, but my wife loves the look so it's staying. Thanks for all help. Jerry
