Can products be dimmed on wall plate dimmers?

Most of our products are dimmable using our dimmers or our 4 zone remote, if the product is described as dimmable in the technical specification. However if you require a wall plate dimmer you will need to use a triac dimmable driver rather than a standard driver. However with these drivers, a minimum load is required.
