I have installed dimmer switches throughout my house. I installed them
20-ish years ago for a couple of reasons -- I taught my kids that they don't
need bathroom lights on full blast just to pee, and a light on dimly while
watching TV is better than full bright or off.
Now that CFLs have hit the scene, and they don't like dimmer switches, I am
left to wonder if a light on dim uses less energy. Granted there is less
light, but we use lights on dimly far more than lights on full. I just don't
know if a dmmed light equals lower electricity consumption.
Thanks,
