walshie 2,804 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I recently treated myself to a Lightforce striker 170 lamp because it came up at the right price. It's not the one with the built in dimmer but I didn't expect it to be for the price I paid. I'd like to add a dimmer to it, but why on earth are they £30-£40? I've seen many in-line dimmers you can wire in for a couple of quid. Is it the name you're paying for or isn't it as simple as my electrical knowledge would have me believe? As always, layman's terms please. Quote Link to post

J Darcy 5,871 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Either way, sort the wiring out where it goes into the handle or it will pop out. Quote Link to post
