Dimming fixed wall lights

[AdrianGroom]

Looking for some advice please

I have a hall with 3 fixed wall lights (each have 60W linear halogen bulb). The light produced from these is too bright and I was wondering if there are any lower wattage R7 bulbs, or is there an inline box that can be connected to the feed cable that would act as a dimmer

THanks in Advance

There is an inline box that you can connect to the cable to dim the lights. No additional wiring is necessary, it simply replaces your existing switch. What is more you can select the brightness you want the lights.
You can buy them from B&Q, Homebase, Robert Dyas, Tesco (probably) and all good DIY shops.

Sorry, I may not have explained the full picture

THe switch controlling the wall lights is a 3 gang switch with 2 of the gangs (the wall lights are one of these gangs) being 1 way and the final gang being 2 way

Sorry for the misdirection

MK grid switch 1 dimmer 2 switches sorted jobs a goodun

Either that or a 3 gang 2 way dimmer. For inductive loads you can replace the knobs for switch only modules.

Unfortunately the existing toggle switches must be used. Looks like I will have to add a single dimmer switch to the feed. I was hoping that there might have been a dimmer control to fit on the feed (in the eves) that would have a flat head screwdriver adjustment and thereby not be available to the casual adjustment or knocks.

Thanks anyhow

You could fit an inline wireless dimmer with remote control - details on request

Thanks Bugsy

I will check if that is an agreeable solution and take it from there
