Works like a transformer; Will not work with a dimmer

Me Have replaced the halogen bulbs in the kitchen pendant to LED, old magnetic transformers didn't work with new bulbs and a 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 (with Lutron Homeworks QS I can switch from LED leading edge control to magnetic low voltage to incandescent - same thing), different incandescent 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.

Pros
  • Provides smooth, flicker-free, full-range dimming for 24V LED lighting such as LED strips, modules, battens, washers, base cabinets and other LED accent lights
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
