I
thought about such, but I'm affraid that they will not give enough
light.
Also,
what kind of transformer is dimmable?
Can I
just use the one that comes with these lights in a
package.

<<I have ceiling mounted
lights
in corridor, whose glass is broken. Doors or
utility room give just 5cm
gap
between them and ceiling, and they hit
ceiling ligth, of
course.
Therefore, I planned to put recessed lights instead and obvious
choice was
some halogen lights.
However, ceiling is suspended just 5
cm
(thickness of wooden battens) and
when I checked specs of halogen
lights,
they all require 15 cm or more for
heat dissipation.
Of course, I
don't
want to cause the fire, so I'm now considering some
half-recessed
lights,
but it seems that specs are the same.
I heard that there are some
recessed
lights that don't dissipate that much
heat that could be fitted, but I
couldn't find any.
Of course, I would like them to be regulated by X10
and
manually from 3
switches (dimmers), so please take that into account. I
cannot put any extra
wires except in the ceiling next to the light, so
probably cannot put DIN
module.
Any ideas?>>
Hmmm, a
difficult one. 20w halogen cabinet downlights might work -
these
are
designed for surface mounting, and are only 15mm deep.

I
don't know of any mains rated versions - but if you can find a
small
enough
dimmable transformer you should be able to work around. Available
in
chrome & brass too.
