correct dimmer switch...

Depends on the transformer, does it say suitable for dimming on it?

Chances are however it will be fine.

I thought running halogens at low voltage killed them quicker.

I think i'll risk it. The transformer tells me nothing. However, the shop said it's suitable for dimming. It's the potential buzzing which would be a problem.

Thanks again.

If it is any comfort, I just installed a 250W SMPS "transformer" on a modern dimmer switch, powering 200W of track lighting, and there is little or no buzzing to notice, certainly none from the transformer itself that I can hear.

That's good news. I'll post an update when the switch arrives :-)

Me too
