A normal tungsten dimmer works by altering the shape of the AC

But LEDs aren't AC driven.

No **** Sherlock?

I take it you have DC mains at home? Might explain a few things.

No you ****ing idiot each bulbs has it's own SWPS otherwise the LED will
only be ON for each half cycle, LEDs are DC components NOT AC. You
don;t know that TV, radios, amnd a lot of teh smaller home appliances
run on DC even if you do plug them into the mains AC.

Ah right. So a dimmer external to that LED actually works on that DC. Glad
to learn something new.

You really don't have a clue do you.
LEDs are DC you do know that LED is Light emitting DIODE now lok up what the word diode means
