All my main room lights are on dimmer switches so do I fill my spare

You can buy halogen replacements, which are pretty much identical albeit
more expensive to buy and less expensive to run.

Or you can readily buy dimmable CFLs these days.


Which have the same horrible light.

If you really like the stone age, it is more authentic to light a fire
in the corner of the room.



Don't be silly.
