afternoon everyone

trying to find a dimmer pull cord (for a bathroom, in zone 2) for use with led lamps, the lamps are suitable for dimming, they are 6.5 watt sylvania dimmables, 4 in total, 26 watts

any recomendations?
 
It says min load is 50 watts so I'm unsure.

But thanks for the moral support:D

Maybe I should get a trailing edge dimmer put up high then tie a piece of string hey it's genius!
 
Did'nt see that Dim, sorry.

Think most dimmers are min 40-50 watts. Time to start phoning the manufacturers I'm afraid, or just put in bigger lamps lol.
 
I'll try the wholesalers next week
there were the 50 watt halogens and ive retro fitted them with these.
Personally I think it's a gimmick things like this.
 
we had trouble with normal dimmers and LEDs. it is now possible to get lower rated dimmers for for the LED problem. I have fitted a couple, i think they came from TLC also. they were regular modules though not pull version.
 
I had a look for one of these a while back and drew a blank. Fortunately for me the customer was persuaded to have a wall switch!
