Works like a transformer; Doesn't work with dimmer

I replaced the halogen bulbs in my kitchen pendant light with LEDs and the old magnetic transformers didn't work properly with the new bulbs and my Lutron QS dimmer. So I replaced the old transformers (three of them, each feeding their own 40w bulb) with this new one with 3 bulbs connected in parallel (each rated at 6w). No dimming. The light is either on or off. I've tried different dimmers, different modes (Lutron Homeworks QS allows me to switch from LED rising edge control to magnetic low voltage on incandescent bulbs - same thing), different bulbs. The same bulbs work fine with the other two types of dimming transformers, with other types of dimmers - so obviously that transformer is causing the problem). So if you need power without having to dim, that's fine. If you need to go darker, look elsewhere. There are transformers from other manufacturers that work well. Maybe my pattern specifically is broken, I don't know, but I don't have time to check it. Just switch to another provider.
