They generally need trailing edge dimmers - same as most CFLs.

As trailing edge works with everything that is dimmable (including
filament) the best idea is to just stick one on.

The only other consideration is some dimmers don't like controlling tiny
loads. As mentioned by someone else here, Varilight Pro dimmers are
excellent (and in fact have 3 modes of driving, selectable, as well as a
user settable minimum level)
