I believe from reading, that you can use a dimmer on halogen bulbs, but, you have to halve the power output. EG: 500watt dimmer switch means you can only use a 250watt halogen bulb. I may be mis-understanding this formula, I aquired it from the Maplins uk site.
Hope this helps,
can't stop to chat, of to B&Q and Wickes (uk hardware shops) to get some lamps.
