The lights at sears use the SAME bulb, and a similar dimmer switch; yes I checked.
The last person I would ask about home wiring, is a salesman from Home Depot.
I would ask someone who has actually taken a basic electrician course... like myself.
I made two sets of lights almost two years ago, and I have yet to run into any problems with them.
Ask your salesman friend at Home Depot, why a 500 watt bulb, would overload a 600 watt dimmer? I would love to here the answer to that.
Thanks.

Are those dimmers for the movie lights, just as good as the barn doors?

In short, no.
The only reason I installed dimmers on my lights, is because I was having problems with hot spots on my screen.
I ONLY use these lights for illuminating the screen, I don't use them for anything else.
"Barn doors" are used on object lights, for controlling the direction of lighting on the set.
