No, the LM10 of any flavour will not work with low voltage halogens fed
from a transformer. You can't feed a transformer with the sort of
waveforms that triac dimmers give out - they just don't like it. What
you could do though, is replace your low voltage halogens with mains
voltage halogens. Provided their total load is 40W or more, they work
fine.
