Wife had bought LED 'filament' decorative bulbs ...... they work fine

Dimmer is type you press button it dims to off .... with theses bulbs it
dims to off and then back to low.

First off thought dimmer was faulty - but put in some standard GLS bulbs
and it works fine.

After searching specs it does say non-dimmable (but not in advert or on
packaging)

I'm going to have to find dimmable LED .............. but what makes an
LED bulb dimmable or not ?

I find the dimmables do not start from zero luminance but some way up.
