I have an RRD-6 dimmer that is working fine except for one problem: the led indicators flicker when the dimmer is off. The dimmer is part of a 3-way switch leg, with an RD-RD on the other location. When the dimmed load is on, the LEDs work normally, scrolling up to the proper level, going up and down with the dimmer level. When you turn the dimmer off, however, the LEDs flicker a bit, then shine steady (not at full brightness) for a few seconds, then flicker again, and this continues.
Anyone seen this before?

What type of bulb(s) are you using? Regular incandescent? CFL? LED?

Sorry, good question. There are three 12 volt luminaires with LightTech 75w dimmable transformers. Each has a 20 watt halogen bi-pin bulb. That's pretty close to the load minimum for the dimmer. Maybe I should try higher-wattage bulbs as a first step, and if necessary use a neutral dimmer?

A quick search online of that LightTech dimmers shows it is an electronic transformer. I would think you should have used the adaptive dimmer, RRD-6NA and not the standard one. The adaptive dimmer is made specifically for electronic low voltage loads.
I use the adaptive dimmer in my kitchen which is wired to 3 Tech Lighting electronic low voltage transformers and it works great. No issues at all.

The LightTech is an ELV transformer, so it looks like I'll need to swap out the RRD-6D for an RRD-6NA.

Just saw your reply after posting mine. Thanks for checking that out for me! I'll make the switch.
