Regular LED and dimming

Hey, do regular LED lights dim? I have a dimmer switch in my house and was wondering when I replace the incandescent with LED, if it will still dim the lights.

Yes some LED lights can dim. It will say on the package if it is dimmable. Some LED light dim better than others.
The ones I have do a pretty good job dimming.
Some require certain dimer switche to work right.
