We have a 300W halogen up-lighter with built in dimmer. It also has a
50W bendy spotlight with dimmer.I'm aware that 300W is a lot of electricity, and in fact, it's too bright when on full - we tend to have it on 50% or less.
Does dimming a light reduce the electricity usage? Part of me says yes, but another part of me is less sure.
I'm thinking of looking for a 150W lamp to go in there which would be more reasonable - especially if dimming has little effect on electricity consumption.
Thanks
