Default Replacing dimmer switch with LED compatible?

Now, the upper lamp uses a linear incandescent R7S bulb (230W on a
dimmer). This has just blown, so I thought I'd take the opportunity
to swap in an LED replacement
(https://www.ledhut.co.uk/6-5-watt-halogen-r7s.html) for economy
reasons. Unfortunately though, the dimmers in the lamp are evidently
not compatible, and it doesn't work.


You can get the same type of LED that claims to be dimmable.
On the Ledhut site it says that is an optional selection but the page
gives no such option. On other pages where a LED has options there will
be a tick box for each variant. Does the box that the LED came in say
dimmable? If not other suppliers do have this option.

Are you sure that its the bulb that is blown and not the switch?
The spec. says the LD901 also has a changeable fuse.
