Hi, I have a question about Magnetic dimmers. I have been looking at LED lights manf. by Environmental Lights.com. I purchased a test kit of wwrf5050 LED lights to use for under cabinet lighting. They look good. I got the waterproof test kit(its the indoor version enclosed in plastic). The indoor version is peel and stick. My question is, I don't know much about different dimmers. I plan on using Altronix AL600 power supplies(I have plenty of them left over from installs)Has anybody here ever put a dimmer on the line side of a 12VDC power supply? Here is some of the manf. documentation
Your in-wall dimmer connects to this supply, which can then drive 12 or 24 volt DC
LEDs.
Works with most conventional household magnetic dimmers, except most digital ones.
See detailed guidance about dimmer compatibility at the end of this note.
This dimming driver is part of a family of drivers with wattages from 36 to 288 watts and
DC output voltages of 12 or 24 volts. Choose an output voltage suitable for your product
and a size (wattage) sufficient for your load.
Designed to drive constant voltage LEDs. AC ripple <300 mV. This ensures the LEDs
are not overdriven due to repeated excess current, which is a common fault of many other
dimming supplies intended for use with constant voltage LED systems. LEDs last much
longer on this driver than competing drivers that allow large ripple voltage.
Very easy to wire: 2 input wires from the dimmer on the primary side and 2 output wires
on the secondary side for the load. The 288 Watt 24 volt supply has 3 96-watt terminal
block outputs and the 240 Watt 12 volt supply has 4 60-watt outputs.
The full manual is below if any is interested in these lights.

Any suggestions would be great,
Thanks
