Default Dimmable CFL

On Sun 27 Apr 2008 02:50:37p, Frank told us...

I have replaced 8 can lights with 16 watt dimmable bulbs and they are
great been in use about 1yr. I also replaced same situation lamps over
my bar but on same circuit as flame type lamps on same dimmer. CFL
lasted 2min. Seems like the CFL lamp is killed by voltage noise or
disruption.
Not going to plug CFL mfg unless asked.

I think the problem is mixing incandescents of any type along with CFLs on
the same dimmer.
