Gents, just wanted to check something with you. I had one of these installed in my kitchen.

It died. First it stopped working as a dimmer, but still worked as a light switch. But then I noticed it started getting really hot, so hot the plastic eventually cracked. A fire hazard of course to I de-installed it. Screwfix were great and sent me a new switch without fibbing. But before I install it again I need to check whether this happened because of me overloading it.
I had it running two of these:

One with a 60 W bulb and one with a 100 watt bulb. These kind of bulbs:

Am I OK to install again or would that be heading to crazy town?
