Room size 4x4 meters (13x13 feet).
1 protected power supply.
3 switches and 1 dimmer.
6 x 50-watt recessed spotlights (without transformer) in series.
How should it be wired so that I can turn the lights on/off from each switch and use the dimmer?
Cable colors blue – red – green/yellow
ADDITIONAL INFO:
6 recessed spotlights are to be installed, each 50 watts / 230 V ~ 50 Hz – the spotlights have no transformer!
The dimmer I have and want to use is a light controller 20-500 VA (I just saw in the manual that it is a low-voltage halogen lamp dimmer) voltage 230 V ~ 50 Hz, rated for T2A/250 V fuse.
SPOTLIGHTS and DIMMER are from a hardware store.
Although the dimmer also allows on/off switching, I don’t need that; I only want to use it to adjust brightness (probably important for wiring with the other 3 switches).
WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP?

From there, it probably gets complicated. I believe using a relay is almost unavoidable. For something like this, it’s best to hire a professional electrician to do the installation, because from my own experience, there are many potential sources of error, and a layperson can quickly run into problems.
