Dimming domestic lights with stage dimmers

[patakskrause]

Hello! I've got a production coming up and I need to dim a load of tungsten filament domestic bulbs. The question is, can I connect them to the outputs of a dimmer like I would be able to do with a theatrical light? If not, any advice on how I would be able to dim them over DMX would be nice. I've enclosed a link to the bulbs in question.

 

Many thanks in advance for any advice.

Yep only problem could be the minimum load the dimmer likes to see, if your only using 1 or 2 you may have to put a load lamp on the same dimmer channel to get them to dim properly

Ok, I'll have a look into that. Thanks for the help!

You might still be able to get oversized incandescents like THIS which I used to use on stage. Easier for the audience to indentify and plugged straight into dimmer circuits.
