Hi all,
I have ceiling fans throughout my house and they all have dimmer
knobs and sliding switches. I bought at Wal mart some compact
flourescent bulbs. I put in one, and it looked great, with no heat
output. I put in the other three and heard a buzzing noise. I quickly
cut off the lights and took a look at one of the bulbs. In teeny tiny
print on the neck of the bulbs it says "Not for use with dimmers." So
I looked at the other bulbs at Wal mart that are compact floursecents
and same deal, but nothing on the box about this.

Aren't the regular incandescent bulbs being phased out in 2009? If so,
what are my options? I'm trying to do the go green thing.

Thanks,
Josh

They don't currently make a good selection of dimmable CFL. Given time and
less government interference, the manufacturers will develope what people
want
