Exactly; and the show room staff mentioned that those dimmable CFLs
are very expensive!

LEDs 'may' be the way to go. But since we are electrically heated and
most months of the year, here, require some warmth, especially at
night, so incandescent bulbs work fine for the present anyway.

In fact we have a bathroom, with six 40 watt incandescents (240 watts)
above the vanity that are only on occasionally (when room is occupied)
and the electric baseboard heater only comes on in coldest weather. It
appears that we replace a only a couple of 25 cents incandescent bulbs
in that bathroom per year.

And; those bulbs rated for use with a dimmer also require a dimmer that can
manage flourescants.
Basically, flourescents have two states: Off and On. Nothing in between that
reults in usable lighting.
