    I got the Amazon ones. Avoid them. They sizzle (least I can hear them) when they're on and they are even louder when dimmed.

    I'm sure there are betters ones out there. But they are rubbish

    All are non-dimmable from what I can see.

    I can't really help with a bargain, but watch out for IKEA dimmable LEDs, I got some and had to stop using them as there was a constant humm from them whenever I dimmed them.
    They were fine if not dimmed.

    Bought 2 of the warm white ones from here.

    Delivery took about 6 weeks, they connected to google home very easily and are dimmable either via an app or google home/alexa.

    You need a led dimmer
    Not the normal dimmer you buy it has to say led dimmer on box to use dimable bulbs

    Apparently easier to Dim leds if you use an Analogue dimmer switch, ie you turn the switch with your hand
    Less easy to Dim, if you use an electronic switch, electronic switch , you hold your finger on the on switch to increase / decrease the light

    if using the Analogue method , try this , before switching on the light , turn dial/ switch to full illumination

    switch on light,
    wait a minute, at full power
    turn turn down


    I use Osrams, bought about ten years ago, most will dim without a flicker/noise, and none have blown yet
