Dimmer switch

[beachBOYken]

So Im attempting to do a few lighting jobs at present, just got an LED kitchen light to replace an old ceiling light with spotlights.

I have 2 light switches either end of the kitchen, the new light is dimmable.

Is there a certain dimmer switch I need to get if I need to replace 2 light switches with dimmers?

Or better case I could take one switch out and just put a blank plate in place and have one dimmer switch, in this scenario could I just get one way dimmer switch?

Same light currently controlled by either switch? Commonly known as a "2 way" switch, the sort of setup for a light at the top of the stairs controllable either from upstairs or downstairs.

2 Way dimmers exist although I haven't used them personally, Screwfix offers LAP, BG and Varilight, all decent brands.

Another option would be to go with a smart setup where only one end actually controls the light and the other is a smart button sending messages to the other end, I've mainly done that in the past where I wanted to do something the wiring didn't already exist for.

EDIT: Dimmers are ususally "Leading edge" or "Trailing edge", generally you'd want "Trailing edge" for LED.
