If you trust your wiring skills you could theoretically just alter it to have a low-amp constant power source then higher-amp power source by adding the signals when the sensor trips... I think the issue is a lot to do with the fact LEDs are way less dimmable than older lights though, as dimmer switches cut off parts to the waveform so have lower rms voltage and flicker, whereas you'd want to supply the same voltage, just fewer amps... if you're keeping it constant I think it's very possible?
