WAC has some clever proprietary technology that does indeed allow the use
of
a standard incandescent dimmer with their particular electronic
transformer.

In the U.K. haven`t seen an electronic LV lighting transformer that dosen`t
say `dimmable` in years.Wether its from a big name or a lower cost
import.Pretty much all ETs are dimmable by a cheap wall plate dimmer here.

Go ahead and use one; it's the best choice -- Lutron or otherwise.
Dimmers
designed for magnetic transformer loads are very much like standard
incandescent dimmers

Dimmers designed for inductive loads like a wound transformer are normally
`hardfired` which is slightly harder to do, normal wallplate dimmers aren`t.

but dimmers designed for the usual electronic loads are
quite different.

The main thing to remember is not to use a dimmer that isn`t specifically
called `inductive` or ` hardfired` with a wound transformer. Using a cheaper
dimmer with a magnetic transformer load might eat both the transformer and
the dimmer.

What you have when your lights flicker are two
incompatible electronic circuits fighting each other.
