hi,

i have a ceiling fan with a light kit. we have a sliding "dimmer"
switch on the wall we use to control the light output.

it works fine with incandescent bulbs. but i have read that if i
switch to fluorscent bulbs i have to buy bulbs that are marked
"dimmer", that regular fluorescent bulbs won't work for some reason.
the dimmer fluorescents are more expensive.

is this i must have special "dimmer" fluorescents bulb business true?
and if so, why is this?

thanks,

sammy

Yes, there is something special and using non-dimmer compliant can mean
poor performance or overheating. The first is annoying the second
dangerous.
