Toomas @DareToLight: Indeed, I hope that Johannas landlord won't see it :) But on the serious side, Johanna - can you estimate, how many watts the whole thing (dimmer + 5-6 regular household lamps) will pull? I can easily calculate the lamps, but how much does dimmer consume in this mode?
Johanna @toomasroolaid I think my flat will be fine, I am not using the dimmer at the full capacity (yes, this monster can take up to 2300W per channel!)
When dimmed, the lights consume less electricity than when burning on full, so the dimmer actually saves up energy. There is a small amount that it consumes by itself (as it is another thing added to the circuit), but it's nothing that I would really calculate with.

Connecting the huge power plug to the apartment wall socket looks funny as hell! :)
Lovely video!
