Are there any problems to expect when you add a MOSFET to a DC/DC converter to add PWM modulation for LED brightness regulation?

I need to power LEDs from a solar powered setup with a 12V battery, around 25W of power. I want to be able to dim the LEDs using a microcontroller. I was not able to find a reasonably priced DC/DC ...
