Both Crestron and Lutron have fixture compatibility charts and reports to let you know which equipment to use.
For low voltage, or only 120V? This thread is about low voltage, 12 or 24 volts.
I have used a 10 Ohm resistor in parallel with some LEDs to create a dummy load to get smooth dimming.
That resistor value makes me think you're talking about voltage in the 12 volt range. You wouldn't put 10 ohms across 120V!
I just saw that Lutron has a dummy load item that can be used as well, though my way costs WAY less.
Lutron has a dummy load for 120V and for 230V LEDs. And for 12 volts, too?
The trick to LED dimming is taking a few hours and going through ALL the cut sheets for each fixture then checking with your chosen 'tron to see what they say.
Oddly, if you're running LEDs with resistors, then varying the DC voltage to them, the literature is found to be lacking or lying, depending on your point of view. You have to test everything.
