Dimmer controls for 12 volt transformers that plug into wall.

The transformer for the light has a 120 V AC input which plugs directly into an outlet. It has a 12V AC 1800 mA output What kind of dimmer do I need and which side of the transformer should I wire it to?

The LUTRON DIMMER CONTROL should be installed in front of the transformer to control the wall outlet. You will be dimming the power going to the transformer, which in turn will be reducing the out put voltage of the transformer. You must first identify if your transformer is an electronic or magnetic type. It is important that you select a dimmer control that is matched to the load.
