I moved into a new apartment, new bedroom had a dimmer switch.

Okay, I have identified that green is ground, but the box I'm screwing it into does not have any obvious grounding points. Can I just wrap it around one of the bolts that goes into the box?

Yes
Also incandescents tend to work a lot better than LED bulbs

Thanks, just got it back together. Only dims from 100% to about 85%, then turns off (dim to off switch.

Better than nothing before I guess, but still annoying. Might switch back to incandescent.

No need for ground on switches desu m8. Just make sure your wire nuts are tight. If you bought a decent dimmer read the instructions, most the time they allow you to perform a sequence in order to allow the dimmer to have a greater range of dimming.

That's odd. I did LED bulbs with a new dimmer, works mostly perfect. The only odd thing is when turned off, the bulbs have a faint glow that can only be seen at night with all other light off. Years ago, I had what you're dealing with, but that was a regular dimmer with fluorescent bulbs.

There is no such thing as a mains LED dimmer for mains LED bulbs.

How dimmable mains LED bulbs work is that they detect what a triac dimmer does to the mains wave form and determine the correct amount to dim from that.

If the LED bulb is some cheap non-dimmable one then it doesn't matter what you plug it in to.

Just put some tape on the green wire.

LED dimming tends to be difficult. You should get a matching set of dimmable LED's and a dimmer. Often times LED's and dimmers of different manufacturers will not work well or at all.

If possible, a decent solution would be to just have 2-3 switches for different bulbs.

Also dimmers tend to produce noise, that can interfere with radio waves.

What brand LED's are you using? I'd recommend Airam, way better price and quality than Philips and Osram.
