I have some track lighting from IKea - "Leding" track with 3 halogen bulbs each - they are cheap but I like them and the bulbs are easy to replace. Could someone tell me if I can install dimmers on the switch that controls them? I am new to the "DIY" with anything electrical. There is just one switch for each track so no two way complications.
Thanks!
