As suggested, I'd be suspicious of the quality of the LED's in use, but if you're stuck with these now, surely a standard 12v regulator would suffice?
Example ... 12v automatic DC regulator at Amazon

Yeah! that would do the job nicely, if I had seen this before buying a buck reducer from China I'd have gone with that.

Glad it works, I would have used a pulse width modulated power supply (or switch mode) and easy way is to buy bulbs with them already fitted.

https://bedazzledledlighting.co.uk/ do lamps with a voltage range 10 to 30 volt, why re-invent the wheel?

Just had a closer look at that regulator, it would be no good cause it's 24 volts.
I'll stick with my buck reducer, it's working fine

Ha ha, that's curious as the link was definitely to a 12v input device, however Amazon were listing both the 12v and a 24v version at the time; they've clearly changed their stock.

If you're sorted with your buck reducer though, that's great.
