Default Replacing dimmer switch with LED compatible?

I've dismantled the switch unit and examined the dimmer switch inside -
it's this model (Hopestar LD-901): http://tinyurl.com/h5so69z (or
http://www.dg-hopestar.com/En/ProductView.asp?ID=38) - clearly not
LED-compatible. So, am wondering whether there's any mileage in
modifying my lamp somehow to accept an LED? I can see "LD-600D" on the
far right of the Hopestar link, but can't find anything else about it.
Wouldn't mind rewiring my lamp to a suitable flex-based switch if one
was available?


I have some ancient MK grid dimmers - 25 years old at least. Replaced the
bulbs on one circuit with dimmable LEDs (from ASDA) and they dim perfectly
to zero. Dimmer is probably a 250-300w type, and the total load of the
LEDs about 10w.
