Works with Caseta!
I used this transformer with the cheaper Lutron Caseta (not the ELV one). So, you can get all the benefits of using a Lutron smart switch and low-voltage dimmable LED's without any low-light issues. I'd recommend you overshoot the WATTS as you'll find yourself adding more lights bc it just works so well. Wiring instructions and mounting are clear and easy to implement.

Perfect
I was surprised how hard it was to track down this kind of solution. I hated the idea of remote controls and standard wall plugs for my under cabinet lighting. This in conjunction with a wall switch dimmer is exactly what i wanted. I can simply turn the lights on and off and adjust the brightness like all the other lights in my kitchen. I have not noticed any flickering at any level of brightness or the cheap LED hum.Just to give a scale of what i run. This is wired into a 3' strip of LED, then a 10' run of wire to go over the sink, then into another 3' strip with a wired 90 degree turn before running another 5' strip. I was worried that their would be voltage issues with so many connections and the over all length, but from start to end, all lighting is perfect.

Great product - beware minimum draw
I have used the Magnitude mechanical LED driver in the past. It's a very good product. I just want to make sure people read the warning that these units have a MINIMUM power draw. I bought the smallest unit, 40w, and tried to use it to run five (5) 1w LED puck lights. It won't operate because it's not pulling enough power.This isn't the products fault, the requirement is clearly listed in the instructions. I just want to make sure people know that. Unfortunately, this is the smallest magnetic LED driver, which means to run really low power draws, you have to use electrical drivers, which have the 2-3 second delay before switching on the lights. This magnetic drivers are instant-on, which is what people expect when they hit a light switch.

Great Mag transformer. NO lag
This is a great Mag transformer. NO lag on startup. Easy to install & wire up. Clear instructions with good schematic. Good circuit protection. Dims LEDs with no flicker. (with dimmable LEDs)

Works perfectly well.
It does what it says on the tin.I bought this to replace a cheaper electronic switching halogen driver that produced way too much RFI (radio frequency interference). In contrast, this unit is completely RF-silent. Dimming works a treat, too, but be careful to match your dimmer to your transformer. Check the tech specs for a list of known-good dimmers, or at least make sure you're getting a dimmer that is meant for a magnetic low-voltage lighting transformer.Has no problems driving a set of LED MR16/GU5.3 lights connected to a cable light system. Specs say it is 85% efficient, which is above average for a magnetic transformer, and about 5-10% less efficient than a noisy electronic (switching) driver.

A better option would have been the three position in-line switch that Inspired offers
The transformer allowed me to power lights under several cabinets at once. I had to use a different dimmer than the one they sell in the combined kit, and their listing of approved dimmers allowed me to do that. I can control the lights from the wall switch. There are positions that cause the lights to flicker/strobe, so that I'm not sure it was worth it. A better option would have been the three position in-line switch that Inspired offers (I used one on the other side of the room). But, it's installed now and changing would be too much effort.
