FOAK: Low energy light bulbs and dimmer switches
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Verdigris saying something like: Are there any low-energy bulbs which will go in a standard bayonet fitting and work with a dimmer switch? Or will I need to replace the switch if I want to be (more than usually) green? x-posted. -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 SE6a Every post contains Nutri-Ceramide-R and Pre-Biotics for your reading pleasure.

Not commonly available in the UK IIUC. So yes you will need to change the switch. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Dulux EL Vario Dimmable Compact Fluorescent from www.cpc.co.uk two-step dimmer function of the Osram Dulux EL Vario. You can now choose between full lighting or lighting dimmed about half as bright. All you have to do is switch the lamp off and then on again within three seconds, the brightness is reduced by half, thus saving 60% power.
