    Circuit Design help for Garden lights

    I am (hopefully) creating some walkway lights for my garden. Probably six 12 Volt downlighters .

The problem I face...

    UK Any ideas how I can add a dimmer to these lights?

    I’m a new spark and not come across this before. There is a hallway, 3 switches for the lights. One each end and one in the middle. Not the standard 2-way and intermediate switching I expected but client would like a dimmer fitted. All switches work and there’s definitely no other switches. Any...
