Do X10 Dimmers save electricity?

Hi All,

Can someone tell me if I dim my mains halogen lights via my din rail
X10 dimmers does that cut down on my electricity usage? I've asked
two people so far and the answers have been 1) Yes, the dimmer the
lights the less electricity is consumed, 2) No, the dimmers simply
use the excess current in the form of heat...so you can understand
my frustration!

Cheers
Darren
