Dimmable LED setup help

Hello all
Ive finally found an LED light with a brightness I am happy with and am wanting to install them in my living room (Auraglow 7 Watt LED GU10 Dimmable Light Bulb)
However I am a bit confused about what is required to run dimmable LED's properly. I realise my regular dimmer wont work and a special dimmer and or transformer(?) is also required.
Just wanting someone to fill in exactly what else I need other than the bulbs themselves to make this work.
Ideally I want to use a dimmer which can be remotely controlled but will settle for manual if I have to. I will also be using 6 LED's fixed into 2 of these controlled by a single dimmer
Cheers

It's easier to use dimmable mains LED lamps rather than purchase ones that require a separate transformer.If my post hasn't helped you, then don't click the 'Thanks' button!

You don't need a transformer for GU10 lamps they are mains voltage.
This dimmer is designed to work with the lamps you have :

You will need a low load dimmer as the wattage of LED's is less than normal light bulbs
