halogen light installed - buzzing noise

Recently installed a halogen light fitting with 10 arm x 20w 12v G4 bulbs.

The light switch is a 2 x dimmer (1 for the above light, 1 for 2 x 100w normal bulb wall lights).

When the wall lights are on everything is ok. When the ceiling light is on there is a buzzing noise emitted from the light and also the dimmer does not work effectively - does not respond to dimmer as efficiently as the wall lights.

Can anyone advise (a) what the problem may be, and (b) how to rectify it?

Many thanks in advance

dimmer has to be compatible with the transformer,a standard tungsten lamp dimmer, will dim the normal bulbs ok, but possibly not the low volt light, check light instructions regarding dimming
