Yeah they are inventronics. 2- 40W and a 25W. If I switch out to Meanwells you're saying I'll be able to ramp from 0% with the dim4 board?

If you were to go with some MeanWells you will get true 0-100% dimming.

Your resistor idea would not work in series as a resistor will only step down the voltage across the LEDs not the current and its the current that is controlling the brightness. However a resistor placed in parallel would do the trick however you would have to do some experimentation to see what size of resistor would be acceptable.
