Be careful here. There is a 110/220 to 6 volt (or probably 8 volt for
increased brightness) transformer between the wall outlet and the
lamp. Regular dimmers must not be used with transformers. I think this
is because of the phase shifts. But dedicated 'halogen dimmers' will
do the job indeed. However Charlie wanted to have the original set-up
restored because of his lack of desktop space.
