Need help installing light fixture on dimmer switch!

I have a new light fixture I want to install. There are 3-4black, 3-4white, and 1 red wire coming from the ceiling. The product itself has 1 black, 1 white, and 1 striped wire. How should these be connected? I put black to black, white to white, and color to color and when I turn the electricity back on the light comes on BUT won't turn off. Could this be because of the dimmer panel on the wall? The new light is not a dimmer. Also, I'm wondering about the 3-4 black and white wires coming from the ceiling, do I need all of those connected?
