The dimmer is not just warm. It is really hot.
Many thanks for all the excellent advice.

It should not be so hot that you can't touch it. Dimmers get a little warm.
That does not look like a low voltage lamp so there is no transformer in there. You might just be able to get by with a general 1000 W dimmer. I say 1000 because you over kill to be save. I don't think it is drawing that much power unless you are running all 60 W bulbs in that light. Count up all of the lights bulbs in there and give Lutron a call. I really like these.

Find out what kind of bulbs are in there and if its low voltage first before you call them. That pic is too hard for me to really to the bulbs inside.
Stupid question from me. Is there other fixtures wired up to the same dimmer?
nice view there. I recognize those hills in the background.
