LEDs have gotten a lot better in recent years, but there is still a bunch of leftover junk on the market.
I had some warm white LED MR11 bulbs that just killed some TV stations, and these would not respond to a dimmer. All my other LED bulbs do respond to a dimmer, and I have found this dimming option to be wonderful. I can turn on most all of my interior LED lighting and it is about 0.8 amps, and with the dimmer I can get the amp draw to just over 0.1 amps and there is still a good amount of light.
I really dislike having the source of the light in view of my eyeballs. My favorite LEDS are some t-20 reverse light bulbs with Cree emitters behind lens projectors. I put these into a 99 cent store gooseneck lamp and can aim the light where needed or desired, and the emitter is shielded from my eyes. I aim them at my table, or at my white roof, or anywhere I feel like.
This is the LED dimmer I bought. No difference in product between the 8$ prime offerings and the $2.99 slow boat from china offerings. The actual electronic guts take up a small fraction inside this casing. I have removed the guts and installed them into other fixtures, one controls much of my interior lighting. I can;t say enough how much I love the ability to dim the lights, from not only a eyeball perspective, but an electrical consumption one too.

A qualified electronics expert friend of mine got one and said they were well built, and he ordered a half dozen more.
Me, I am not keen on fluorescent lighting. At first I did not like the LEDS either, mostly for the too blue factor, but the white light of later LED's I have grown fond of and prefer reading to, compared to incandescent.
I remember back in the day, My interior lighting was all incandescent, and one single 921 bulb consumed more than nearly All my LED lighting can consume now. That one bulb in 6 hours would consume more battery power than my fridge now consumes in 10-12 hours.
No wonder I was such a prolific battery murderer back in the early 2000's
