LED Dimmer Compatibility Question

LED Dimmer Compatibility Question#194719

I've got some landscape LED lights powered by a 36 watt transformer. The LED dimmer offered the the same company seems way overpriced.

I picked up this small dimmer module on eBay. I want to make sure I'm not going to damage the transformer or the LED lights. Does this look like it would be an acceptable solution?

TIA.

Looks like the cheaper will work, but remember the old saying, you get what you pay for. The only thing I am concerned about is the transformer. There is no specs on it. I haven't read the manuals offered at dekor, so maybe read through those and see if they have anything. Or just drop them an email and ask..??

Thanks. I guess I'll just pay the boated price for the Dekor dimmer rather than risk damaging the installation.
