fluorescent bulbs and dimmer switches?
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 |
