You're mostly quite right, but nondimmable mains LEDs definitely can be
dimmed. Switch in a series cap and Robert's related.

But that doesn't dim it as regards what most mean by a dimmer. Variable
from near zero to near full. And even worse for our Dave who doesn't feel
competent at component level.

I'm far more compendent than you at componet level, I would trplace a
triac with the same tyoe if it kept blowing as you appear to do every time
a bulb blows who in theier right mind would want to replace a triac
everytime a bulb blows ?

Calm down, dear.
