I had no problem using a z-wave smart dimmer. I used the a Linear aka Nortek aka GoControl model WD500Z5 zwave dimmer and it successfully burned in so far for 1 day. It does get very warm, even pushing only 10 watts. Like a hot McDs coffee cup hot. Not too hot to start papers on fire, but too warm to be comfortable holding.
