Default recessed lights -- what's wrong?

In article . com,
Arkadiy wrote in part:

I had recessed lighting installed in my family room a few month ago,

The fixtures are 4'', bulbs -- 50W, and I have 2 dimmers -- each

Also what's the deal with energy-saving bulbs? Would you recommend
them?


Most compact fluorescents should not be used here because:

1) Most are not rated for use with dimmers. A few are.

2) Most that are not specifically rated for use in recessed ceiling
fixtures are likely to overheat in such fixtures.
