Which light bulbs - only LED or others as well?

hello, I bought a pendant lamp: for the dining table with 5 sockets (the 5 cords are wrapped around a branch) Attached are the technical specifications. Now I want to buy light bulbs for it. We had a problem with LED bulbs and our dimmer back then. That means: LED bulbs do not work. Did I make a mistake with the lamp? Do only LED bulbs work there? Or can I also screw in other bulbs (if I find some)? If we can use normal bulbs after all: how much power per bulb do you recommend for the dining table? Currently there is an old 48W halogen lamp installed. It could be a bit brighter, after all it is dimmable.

You can use "normale," as stated, 5 pieces with a maximum of 24W. But there are also dimmable LEDs; I would prefer those.

I would like the vintage lamps. They are only available in LED. But LED is not compatible with our built-in dimmer :(
At the moment we have halogen in there.
If you say I can also have others instead of LED, then I guess I have to be happy that it works at all without LED. The dimmer is something nice :)

A normal dimmer with normal LEDs doesn’t work either, there are special LEDs for dimming, have you tried those? Otherwise, just use light bulbs, as long as they still exist. Yes, I do miss the dimmer from the last rental place a bit. Although we consciously decided against it.

I will probably try again with a trial purchase.
It's unbelievable: you can hardly find anything. Normal vintage bulbs are just as expensive as LEDs but consume 10 times as much :(

The somewhat higher-quality LED bulbs (including those in the Vintage Look with filament "Glühfaden") are now all equipped with a control chip and are therefore dimmable. Don’t worry about that, just make sure that "dimmbar" is indicated when you buy them^^
