I replaced lights with LED and found the existing dimmer switch is not compatible, any suggested brands for dimmer switches? not many options I can see online. Can a dimmer switch control mix of LED and incandescent lights?

I’ve just removed my plastic two way switch and in the common terminal I have two live wires and in L1 I have one live cable, what should I do with the double live common wire?
