I need to drive an MR-16 LED lamp using a 12/24V Incandescent Light Bulb Dimmer.

Problem: that dimmer is expecting some very low resistance loads and MR-16 LED Lamps are designed with IC LED drivers (very high resistance).

If I connect a 10-ohm 10-Watt Resistor in parallel with this MR-16 LED Lamp then it works. But wasting lots o energy on that Resistor.

Solution: a trick circuit (low resistance and low current) to turn ON Dimmer so MR-16 LED Lamp can function normally.

Thank you for helping out

Is this an AC or DC circuit?

Perhaps it might be easier to build your own dimmer from scratch.
