Lightbulb Can you Dim your household LED lights?

Just curious with everyone converting to LED lighting throughout their houses over recent years, has anyone found a combination of lights & dimmers that work well together? When we built 15 years ago, I installed more can lighting than we needed & used dimmers to dial it back. But today, we have just about every 65watt incandescent flood light changed out to its LED equivalent. While all of the replacement bulbs say they are "dimmable" My existing Leviton dimmers would only dim maybe 10%

I just assumed it was the dimmers being outdated & not LED compatible. However I recently installed a few of the new P&S LED rated dimmers & its exactly the same. I miss being able to dim things down to maybe 25% like the old incandescents.

Anybody here find an LED bulb or retro fit kit that can actually Dim, or maybe a dimmer control that works better than typical off the shelf Leviton or P&S?

What are you using?
