Hey folks,

Been a long time watcher of the EEVblog, but I've never really messed with anything electronics related aside from the most basic stuff around the house. I'd like to get some help with a project. I'm in the process of installed Lutron Caseta switches and dimmers and I'd like to convert a dimmable LED lamp to be dimmable from the wall instead of the foot slider it came with.

This should be eyerollingly easy for most of you, and I think I have the right idea but I'd like to ask a couple of questions to make sure I don't burn down my house, and/or burn out my expensive dimmable lamp.

The lamp has a 24v wall adapter which feeds into a dimming slider that reads 5-20v 1400mah constant current. So I know that I need to find a wall dimmable LED driver that follows those specs -  easy enough. My question is how much, if any, play is there in these numbers? If I find a 5-24v at the current, will I risk overvolting the LED's and killing them? I can trim the dimmer to some extent and watch the output with a meter but basically I'd like to get some input what I should be looking for. Also since I don't really know where to look, if someone can recommend a site where I can buy this I'd be greatly appreciative!

Thanks in advance!
