Halogen is a type of incandescent fixture so yes.
Find the wattage rating on the dimmer controller. This is the maximum allowable wattage that the lamp in the fixture should be. Lamp wattage ratings under the rated dimmer wattage is fine but do not install a larger wattage lamp that is over the dimmer control's rating.

Whether a spider light fixture can be dimmed depends on the specific design and the type of bulbs it uses. Here are the key factors to consider: Dimmable Bulbs: Spider lights that use dimmable bulbs can generally be dimmed. Check the product specifications or packaging to see if the bulbs are compatible with dimmer switches. Dimmer Switch Compatibility: Even if the bulbs are dimmable, the spider light fixture must be compatible with dimmer switches. Some fixtures may come with built-in dimming capabilities, while others may require the use of an external dimmer switch. Built-in Dimmer Functionality: Some spider light fixtures come with built-in dimming functionality. In such cases, you can usually control the brightness directly using a switch or a remote control that comes with the fixture. Dimmer Switch Installation: If your spider light is not dimmable by default, you can still install a dimmer switch on the wall. However, this depends on the type of bulbs used in the fixture. Not all types of bulbs are compatible with dimmer switches, so make sure to use dimmable bulbs. LED Compatibility: If your spider light uses LED bulbs, it's essential to use dimmable LED bulbs and ensure that the dimmer switch is compatible with LED lighting. Not all LED bulbs work well with all dimmer switches, so it's important to check for compatibility. Before attempting to dim a spider light or any other lighting fixture, it's crucial to read the product documentation, including the specifications for both the fixture and the bulbs. If you're unsure about compatibility or installation, it's advisable to consult with the manufacturer or a qualified electrician. Always follow safety guidelines and ensure that any electrical work is performed in accordance with local building codes. If your spider light is part of a larger lighting system or if you have specific product details, you may want to refer to the manufacturer's instructions for accurate information regarding dimming capabilities.
No, the dimmer switch needs its own individual circuit power supply to feed the fixtures connected to it. The black of the second dimmer switch can not be connected to the red wire of the first dimmer switch. Now if you are talking about using a common "hot" to feed two dimmer switches then this can be done. The neutrals will be common also. So what you should have is two black wires connected together with the incoming "hot". Two neutrals connected together with the incoming white. The red from each dimmer is then connected to its own individual fixture load.
