Fitting a dimmer to Festoon Lights

    I've made a string of Festoon lights using 1.5 Twin cable and cord grip bulb fittings.

    I put a standard three pin plug on the end and the string works perfectly.

    However I want to fit a dimmer to the string and I'm having a bit of difficulty.

    I was wondering if this theory may work. Can I put the two live wires on either side of the dimmer switch and join the two neutral wires together outside the switch?
