Seriously, 2 days and no answer!

Add up the wattage of each bulb and that will give you the rating of dimmer switch you need. for example if you fitted 10 down lighters with 60 watt bulbs in each you would have a very bright kitchen.


Oh and you'd also need a 600watt dimmer switch at the very least :)
