Generally speaking, most high voltage LED equivalent bulbs will work fine with a standard incandescent dimmer. The only real performance difference will be the slope; they are more precise on the dim end. Since tungsten bulbs need a certain minimum, you might have slightly more "dead zone" before the bulb kicks on.
Some people find LED dimming to be too limiting - it won't go dim enough, etc. That is a good time to go low-voltage LED dimming/control. This is why Trailing edge dimmers are often considered better for LED lighting because they are specifically designed to work more effectively with LED technology. LED (light-emitting diode) bulbs have different characteristics compared to traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs, and they require compatible dimming methods for optimal performance.
