I seem to get better answers here than the other forums...

I want to put in some under-cabinet LED lighting. Of course, I also want it to be
dimmable and controllable with my kitchen Insteon KPL. Will an insteon dimmer control an
LED driver such as http://www.elementalled.com/12v-dimmable-driver.html? Can I just plug
that into a dimmable applianceLinc and be good to go? That page lists all kinds of
compatible dimmer switches, but no Insteon :(

Or do I need a different kind of driver? Suggestions?

Is there such a thing as a dimmable appliancelinc? I think not 8-}

There is a lamplinc, that dims for incandescent bulbs up to 300W.

You may be up against the old issue that modules create dimming by dropping cycles whereas conventional dimmers do it by reducing voltage.

I would search or post in the SH INSTEON forum specifically asking whether a Lamplinc works with LED bulbs. It's a good question

Yeah, LampLinc, that's what I meant. The AplianceLinc is definitely not dimmable.
