Halogen lights themselves are no problem. But the cheap dimming power
supplies are reported to be big trouble.
Dimmer switches vary. I have had good luck with modern ones, but older
ones can be terrible. I think some are rated for RFI filtering. As
usual, you probably don't want the cheapest. It might be good to test
them yourself before installing.
