If I remember correctly the dimmer's 'designed purpose' is for the flexible LED strings that run off a 12-24 volt DC supply. Typically this application would not use a constant current driver. The two components, dimmer/constant current driver will work against each other.

After reading the thread again, I probably went overboard on my response. All you needed was the info on whether the dimmer is compatible with a non-dimmable driver. My answer is somewhat buried & inconclusive since I can't recall how the 10watt LED reacted with both the dimmer & non-dimmable driver with 12VDC supply when I hooked it all up using a bread board.
