LED Dimmer Switches With LED + Halogens

cheap-information

I currently have a standard 4 gang light switch.

This controls two circuits of 4 x Philips Master dimmable 4w LED GU10 bulbs and two circuits of 20w Halogen bulbs (kitchen lights).
The rest of the flat uses the Philips 4w LED GU10s, dimmable.

After a bit of reading, for the individual switches in the rest of the flat I would need a trailing edge dimmer switch for each of them (minimum load on each around 16w-24w which would be fine).

However, for the 4 way switch, 2 of them would need to be the same LED dimmers, and the other two switches running the halogens I am not sure.

Is is possible to run the halogens off an LED dimmer as I it is unlikely I would be able to buy a 4 way switch with 2 x LED dimmers and 2 x Halogen dimmers?

I cannot change the halogens as they are not standard fittings and have wiring which is very difficult to get to, The halogens consume 20w each and there about 4-5 of them.

Any advice would be much appreciated in regards to the 4 way switch and if trailing edge are the correct choice.

Try looking up your dimmer spec and check your loadings...MK indicate either halogen or LED bulbs can be run with trailing edge dimmer, but not both lamp types on same dimmer circuit.
