Default Re: Ballast in halogen lamps (sometimes)

Is there a 'bush electrician' trick I can use to determine whether a dimmer circuit is trailing edge or leading edge? I don't really want to be hanging a scope across the feed to the bulb.

We can assume that the manual for the lamp went the distance years ago and even if it had not it would be unlikely to have emphasised what sort of dimming technique it used since the only compatible bulbs available at the time would have been halogen filament types.
