It's quite likely that that's intentional 'soft on/off' behavior that's been engineered into the dimmer. My lights at home do this too, but I can turn it on/off

Some LED bulbs don't deal with it very well - depending on whether the driver in the bulb themselves expect leading or trailing edge dim signals (in the case where you send mains voltage to the bulb and the bulb has in internal driver; this is different when you have a full DC circuit).
