Default What's different between Dimmable and non-dimmable LED bulbs

I've noticed that the stores sell both regular (non-dimmable) and
Dimmable LED bulbs. The dimmable ones are more expensive. What is
different inside of them?

I've found that CREE dimmable LED bulbs work with Intermatic light
timers that pass a low voltage thru the bulb when the timer turns off.
These are in the wall timers that are marked incandescent only. Sure
there is a slight glow on the bulbs when they are off but it sure beats
digging up the driveway and front lawn to rewire the lamp post or spend
a hundred dollars on a new LED lamp post head.
