That sounds to me like your bro has a dimmer switch that is not fully LED compatible. As that behaviour of the bulbs is the same as using a non LED dimmer. I have over 60 led bulbs here at Sharp hall. If his old chandelier had 20w bulbs then that is 1020W and the LEDs I am guessing they are candle bulbs no more than 5w each = 30w.
My brother has an older house and he has a chandelier in his living room connected to his ageing electrics.
He put energy saving bulbs in (6 in total) and then when he turns all the lights off the new bulbs slowly illuminate to a dim glow. To remedy this he put back one of the original bulbs.
We have a 9 bulb chandelier in the banqueting hall of Sharp Hall and as LED dimmer switches are over £20 AND dimmable LEDs are more expensive I went for LEDs in that fitting that dimmed in steps with an on/off of the NORMAL switch each time the bulbs dimmed up to 4 levels.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
