That's called dead travel in the lighting world. It's a common LED issue.

If you're buying big name brand LEDs, you're likely getting good performance. I think the Caseta dimmers are already set for a low end trim out of box to account for typical performance issues. You may want to check your app to see if you can reduce to the trim if your LEDs are performing well and you want more range on the low end.

Hey OP, I'm assuming based on the 600W/150W breakdown, this is a Lutron dimmer, because that's their standard incandescent and LED load limits for most of their LED+ dimmer line. If that's the case, I want to add a tip for you:

Depending on the LED, it's likely the lamps will strobe, shimmer, or simply turn off when you dim down to the low end. This is common with LEDs. If this happens, Lutron has a feature called low-end trim which adjusts how low the lights will dim. This allows you to avoid dimming so low the lights start to have issues. Just look for it on your instruction sheet.
