I'd expect failure modes of mains LED devices to be of the it works
or it doesn't variety rather than just dim. It takes a while to start


I had a few filament style GLS LEDs that slowly got dimmer and dimmer
over time.

(there always was a very short delay) and slowly fades out when
switched off. High resistance between the PSU and LED module?


Or dodgy cap in the PSU..
