Don't underestimate the importance of the internal lamp fusing - many cheap unbranded lamps may not include this and therefore allow damaging high current faults to pass through the dimmer triac which often kills the dimmer as you have found. This problem with lamps killing dimmers happens in much more expensive lighting control systems too so it you want to avoid costly dimmer reaplcements you need to ensure you are using the correct lamps.
