Re: Magnetic and Electronic Dimmers
There are dimmers that are rated for dimming LV lighting systems. And many manufactures do produce UL listed power supply's that are dimmer capable. even electronic versions. Check the manufacture of LV systems web site. Lu-tron, Leviton, and P&S all make LV dimmers.
Edited to add that standard dimmers vary the frequency to give the dimming effect. a transformer will heat up when run out of the designed frequency.

www.lutron.com has some info. You might also want to call their tech support line. I have had good luck with them in the past.
