There is a holding current in a triac, and once the current drops below
this a kind of Hysteresis occurs so you need to turn it up to get it

leds don’t dim using triacs but still cant be dimmed right down close
to zero for use as a nightlight with the philips hues particularly.

Even my toilet cistern can slow down smoothly.

Rather different technology. Many dimmers cant,
they cut off abruptly at the lower light levels.
