What makes flourescents dimmable, is it the ballast or the bulb, or
both? What's the good dimmable flourescent (are there any CFLs?), and
are they compatable with X10 gear?
Thanks!
I went in to buy some CFLs on sale. They were out and substituted
the dimmable version, so I didn't complain.
I stuck them in NON-dimmable fixtures. Both failed within six months.
The non-dimmable CFLs have been lasting twice that long.
I've never had a CFL last long enough to pay back the extra cost.
Sure, they're guaranteed, if you saved the receipt and are willing to
Pay the $6 shipping for a replacement, assuming the distributor is still
in business....Grrrrr.
