Home Automation & LED Dimming

Dimming of LED lamps is made more difficult due to the fact that any given lamp can be manufactured to  a particular arrangement of electronic and electrical specs, current, voltage, amperage and control signals, that vary considerably from any other manufacturers specifications.   So one of the lamps may be dimmed by a particular dimmer but the other, not.
Manufacturing a dimmer to match or suite a particular brand of lamp is ludicrous to say the least and not something that I feel should be pursued  Perhaps an in line controller or Puck that would allow all dimmers to dim all lamps, now thats a good way to go. I feel somewhat let down when I look at the cost of a decent LED lamp as well as the cost of a Puck , may as well stay with a standard 35w incandescent IRC lamp?
