Undercounter Driver compatibility
I am installing a Caseta setup in my new home.
I have some under counter LED lighting strips that I would like to dim with an intelligent Caseta dimmer.
The model driver the cabinet maker supplied is a Magnitude E40L-12DC-KO 40W 12VDC output driver. Magnitude (the manufacturer) says its driver works with Triac leading edge dimmers.
I know for certain my PD-5NE dimmers I am using in my bulk and wall washer loads isn't compatible and as exhibits very strange behavior, with strings just shutting on and off, etc.
I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion of a different model Caseta dimmer I might give a try for better compatibility with a leading edge style dimmer?
Thanks as always.

Thanks so much, I tried a PD-6WCL (because my local Home Depot had one in stock) and it worked great. I have a number of them, so I will give the PD-10NXD a try on the second one and if it works, will go ahead and use PD-10NXD's on all the rest.
Much appreciated.
