Yes, as the person so states being her father is an electrician and they know this stuff... If you put the dimmer on the line, it will adjust everything. But just to clarify, it is not good to have florescent lighting nor anything else which uses a ballast of some sort to be on a dimmer. This would also include the active UV lights etc.. being these are on a self contained ballast for a mercury vapor system. You may consider either re-wiring so whatever you are deciding to use as the main heat source is on a seperate line so you can use a dimmer, else get a flood light instead of the spot light so the heat is dispursed a little better then so confined to that 1.5" area. That is way too small and I would think would have similar issues as that of the hot rock sindrume of not convering the entire animal and therefor the animal sits in/under/on this super hot area to try to warm their entire body and ends up burning that small area which is receiving all the heat.
