well yes and no , on paper yes but in reality No , we dont actually run at 240 v more 220 ish and the same with everything electrical realy , the printed spec is actually an over rating so a 50w bulb probably only runs at 40 something , but its splitting hairs , you are right an additional amount should be allowed for the trannys

totaly unneeded and just extra expense i realy dont want to incur just for the benifit of running a Varilight
it is a shame but i have a feeling i wont be able to achieve what i want, for a reasonable cost.. shame as everything else in the room is controlled by my Harmony
