hi,
recently purchased a new light fitting for dining room. it has 7 x 12V 10 watt max G4 halogen bulbs. put it up yesterday and used it in conjuction with the dimmer switch that was already installed. turned it on and it flickered like mad and buzzed like crazy! i checked the instruction and it said it may not be compatable with some dimmer switches. im guessing i need a special dimmer designed for halogen bulbs?
can anyone offer any advice or point me in the right direction of a dimmer switch that would be suitable?
thanks in advance....

I think you need a low voltage (LV) dimmer switch like some of the ones on this page:
