I'm part qualified so you'll have to forgive my tiny brain...
12 x 50w Gu10s that have munched a couple of dimmers.(a silly load for a room that's abut 8 Msq)
I understand that with these halogens I may have to de rate the dimmer which would mean a 1200 watt dimmer (a bit pricy by the looks of it)
Would there be any issue with putting a normal single pole switch on it?
Is it then a simple amp rating calculation? (5.12A)
Is there maybe a greater inrush like this that may cause problems?
Last but not least, is it safe?
Thank you.
